Insurance:

Searcy Pediatric and Adolescent Healthcare offers the following options to pay for your services:

Cash pay/credit card/Health Savings Account (parent coaching, in-home services, therapy, testing/assessment, consultations/trainings)
If you are planning to utilize an additional funding option (e.g., HSA), please provide detailed information and consult with your employer to guarantee payment for mental health services.
We are only in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO for consultations/therapy/testing/assessment):
- If you are out of network, a SuperBill will be provided by Dr. Searcy-Pate after your visit to submit to your insurance for partial or full reimbursement.
Dr. Searcy does not accept HMO, and/or Medicaid plans. Instead, a reduced fee has been implemented for underinsured families. Please contact your customer service line that can be found on your insurance card to locate a provider that does.

If your insurance provider is not listed above, you may still qualify for behavioral health services with your insurance provider. Simply contact your insurance provider to determine whether you need pre-authorization for therapy or testing.

If you are seeking services and I do not take your insurance plan, I am happy to provide you with a SuperBill through our Client Portal system for you to submit to your insurance provider for partial or full reimbursement.

If your insurance decides not to pay for services received, it is your responsibility to cover the remaining balance. Please check your coverage by calling your insurance provider directly.

***If you live outside of the state of Illinois, I currently practice interjurisdictional telepsychology in more than 34 states. Please email and/or contact my office directly for more information.
