Insurance & Benefits Verification

Please call the member services number on the back of your insurance card before our first appointment to verify your benefits. Ask the representative to confirm if "David McDaniel" or "David McDaniel Counseling" is currently an in-network provider for your specific plan.

​

Insurance Accepted

I'm an active provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield (PPO, Blue Choice, and EPO/HPN), Aetna, and WebTPA. Credentialing for Cigna and Evernorth is currently pending.

​

If you have the UHC StudentResources plan as a student at the University of Illinois, you're also covered. You simply pay your standard co-insurance at the time of your session, and the plan takes care of the rest.​

​

Insurance Not Accepted

I'm not a provider for standard UnitedHealthcare/Optum commercial plans, HMO, Medicare, or Medicaid (Managed Care) plans.

​

Out-of-Network Coverage & Billing

If an insurance provider is not listed above, or if my credentialing with a plan is still pending, I'm considered an Out-of-Network Provider and clients are responsible for the full professional fee at the time of our session. Since many PPO plans offer out-of-network benefits, I can provide a monthly "superbill" (an itemized medical receipt) for clients to submit directly to their insurance company. Depending on the plan's specific out-of-network coverage, they may reimburse the client for a portion of the cost.

​

Important Note: Due to a mandatory contract transition period, I'm legally unable to offer out-of-network superbills or cash-pay services for standard UnitedHealthcare or Optum members at this time.
