What does it mean when a provider is in-network or out of network?

An in-network provider has a contract with Aetna to offer discounted rates, while an out-of-network provider does not, resulting in higher costs for you.

A deductible is the amount you must pay out-of-pocket for healthcare services before your Aetna coverage kicks in. Once you meet your deductible, Aetna typically covers a portion of your medical expenses.

Coinsurance is the percentage of healthcare costs you pay after meeting your deductible, with Aetna covering the remaining percentage. For example, if your coinsurance is 20%, you'll pay 20% of the costs, and Aetna will pay 80%.

A copay, or copayment, is a fixed amount you pay for a specific healthcare service, such as a doctor's visit or therapy session. Copays vary by plan and service, and are usually due at the time of service. Headway can often provide instant estimates for your copay and any other session costs after you enter your insurance details on Headway.

4620 Cedar Avenue, Wilmington, NC

I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist. I specialize in complex trauma, especially within relationships and attachment. This means that most of my clients struggle with anxiety, shame, depression, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, codependency, disordered eating, attachments and communication. My niche is working with "cycle breakers" who are navigating how to get unstuck from learned patterns that are no longer serving them. They are often adult children of emotionally immature parents. Dysfunctional patterns often begin long before adulthood and can be rooted in painful family dynamics and/or generational trauma.
