Insurance & billing FAQ

The most reliable way is to call us at 301-301-9748 or start booking at Book Online — we confirm your insurance before your visit is finalized. We accept CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare. Participation can vary by specific plan and benefit tier — always verify before booking.

You can still see Dr. Joseph on a self-pay basis. We provide superbills — itemized receipts with diagnosis and procedure codes — that you can submit directly to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many PPO plans offer out-of-network benefits. Ask us for a superbill after your visit.

Yes. All Anchor Health visit fees qualify as HSA and FSA-eligible medical expenses. You can use your HSA or FSA debit card directly at the time of payment. This applies to both self-pay visits and any out-of-pocket costs on insured visits (copays, deductibles).

No — we do not accept Medicaid or Medicare at this time. We accept four commercial insurance plans: CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare. If you have Medicaid or Medicare, we're happy to see you on a self-pay basis. Superbills are available for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

Membership is private pay and completely separate from your insurance. Your insurance continues to cover standard services exactly as it normally would — labs, imaging, specialist referrals, and prescriptions are all still billed through your insurance. Membership is an add-on for enhanced access and structured follow-up, not a replacement for your insurance coverage.

Self-pay rates are available at booking on Book Online and by calling 301-301-9748. Rates vary by visit type (new patient vs. established, duration, complexity). There are no hidden fees — you'll see the exact cost before you confirm your appointment.
