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

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

What is a deductible?

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

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

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Haymarket, VA

Hi, I’m Hayley Johnson, MSN, PMHNP-BC. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in nursing, including medical, rehabilitation, home health, and behavioral health settings.

I work with adolescents and adults (ages 12+) experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed internally, struggle with focus or emotional regulation, or feel stuck despite trying to manage things on their own.

My background in both medical and psychiatric care allows me to take a comprehensive approach. I consider the full picture, including medical history, lifestyle factors, and when appropriate, possible contributors such as thyroid imbalance, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal changes.

I am committed to providing thoughtful, structured, and evidence-based psychiatric medication management in a way that feels collaborative and respectful.
