Do I need a referral?
In most cases, no. Under Pennsylvania HealthChoices and most commercial insurance plans, outpatient mental health services do not require a physician referral. You can contact us directly to schedule an intake. Some commercial plans may require prior authorization — we will check your benefits and handle that process on your behalf before your first appointment.
What if I do not have insurance?
We offer self-pay rates for clients without insurance coverage. If cost is a barrier, contact us — we are committed to finding a path to care for every person who reaches out. You also have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs before your first appointment.
When will I be billed?
For insured clients, OCS submits claims directly to your insurance provider one to two days after each session. You are responsible for any applicable copay, coinsurance, or deductible as determined by your plan at the time of service. For self-pay clients, payment is due at the time of service. We will discuss your financial responsibility with you before your first appointment so there are no surprises.
We accept Medicaid, major commercial insurances, and self-pay — because cost should never be a barrier to mental health support

What if I can't afford these rates?
We will not turn someone away from care because of cost. If self-pay rates present a financial hardship, contact us directly and we will work with you on an income-based payment arrangement. These arrangements are handled privately, individually, and without judgment. Reaching out is the first step — call us at (724) 618-4063 or email info@ocstherapy.com.

Can I choose to pay out of pocket instead of using my insurance?
It depends on your insurance type.
If you have commercial insurance (such as Highmark, UPMC Health Plan, Aetna, or Cigna), yes — you may elect to pay self-pay rates rather than use your benefits. This requires a signed election form at the start of services. Some clients prefer this option for reasons of privacy or to avoid a mental health diagnosis being reported to their insurer. We will walk you through the process.
If you have Pennsylvania Medicaid (Medical Assistance), no — federal law prohibits Medicaid-enrolled providers from accepting self-pay from Medicaid beneficiaries for any service covered under your plan. If you have questions about what your Medicaid plan covers, we are happy to help you verify your benefits before your first appointment.
Will my rates ever change?
Our rates are reviewed periodically. If a rate change affects your services, we will notify you in writing no less than 30 days before the change takes effect. You will never be surprised by a rate increase without advance notice.
