In-Network
UnitedHealthcare Therapy,
Anywhere in Oklahoma.

Yes. Kenzie Langford sees UnitedHealthcare, Optum, and UMR clients face to face at the Oklahoma City office, and online as well. Same member ID, same verification.

Online, yes. Madison Johnson and Kenzie Langford both see Tulsa clients by video, and we verify your benefits before the first session.

Most UnitedHealthcare plans cover telehealth therapy. Both clinicians on this page see clients online statewide. We confirm your plan's telehealth benefit during verification. More on the online therapy in Oklahoma page.

Yes. Optum runs behavioral health benefits for UnitedHealthcare and for many other plans. If your card, your welcome packet, or the Live and Work Well site says Optum or Optum Behavioral Health, your therapy benefit runs through Optum and we're in network. Send the member ID and we confirm your specific plan.

Yes. UMR is a UnitedHealthcare company that administers self-funded employer plans on the UnitedHealthcare network. Because every employer's UMR plan is built differently, your exact coverage depends on your plan, so we verify your specific benefits before your first session and tell you what you'll owe.

United Behavioral Health, UBH, is the behavioral health entity behind Optum. It's the name that shows up on authorizations and referrals for UnitedHealthcare mental health benefits. Same benefit, same network, and yes, we're in it.

Surest is a UnitedHealthcare plan some employers offer, and it runs on its own rules. Send the card through the contact form and we confirm before you book.

Maybe. UnitedHealthcare sells Marketplace plans in Oklahoma, and they run on a different network from the employer plans. That's one we confirm case by case, so send the card and we check it before you book.

On most plans, no. Choice Plus, Options PPO, and most employer plans don't require a referral for outpatient mental health. Navigate and other HMO plans want one from your primary care physician. We check this when we run your benefits, so you don't have to guess.

Yes. Anxiety and depression fall under the outpatient behavioral health benefit on every commercial UnitedHealthcare plan. Your copay, coinsurance, and deductible depend on your specific plan, so we check your benefits and tell you what to expect before your first session. More on the anxiety and depression page.

Yes. EMDR is billed under standard psychotherapy codes and is covered like any other outpatient therapy session under your UnitedHealthcare plan. Kenzie Langford is the EMDR trained clinician booking with UnitedHealthcare. Shylah Ridgway is also EMDR trained, and her therapy caseload is currently full. More on the EMDR therapy page.

Most current UnitedHealthcare plans don't cap outpatient therapy sessions as long as treatment is medically necessary. Some plans still carry annual limits or ask for authorization after a set number of visits. We check yours during benefits verification.

Yes. Kenzie Langford works with teens and young adults. Send the teen's member ID through the contact form and we run the benefits before the first session. More on the therapy for teens page.

Yes. Perinatal mental health is covered under the same outpatient benefit as any other therapy on your plan. Madison Johnson works with pregnancy, postpartum, and the stretch after, online across Oklahoma. More on the perinatal and postpartum page.

Employee assistance sessions for UnitedHealthcare plans run through Optum, and you'll usually find them on the Live and Work Well site. It's a separate benefit from your health plan: a set number of sessions per issue per year, decided by your employer. Mention it when you reach out and we'll tell you whether your EAP sessions can be used at Ala Therapy Collective.

It depends on your plan. Most UnitedHealthcare employer plans use either a flat copay per session or a coinsurance percentage once any deductible is met, and on a high deductible plan the deductible comes first. UMR plans follow whatever the employer built. We verify your plan and put your per-session number in writing before you start.

Every plan comes with a Summary of Benefits and Coverage, the standardized document on myuhc.com, on umr.com for UMR plans, or from your HR department. Find the row that reads "If you need mental health, behavioral health, or substance abuse services" and look at "Outpatient services." The Network Provider column is what you'd pay per session with us. A dollar amount is a copay; a percentage is coinsurance; "after deductible" means the deductible comes first. If you'd rather not decode it, send it with your member ID and we read it for you.

Deductible: what you pay before the plan starts paying, if your plan applies it to therapy. Copay: a flat amount per session. Coinsurance: a percentage of the contracted session rate instead of a flat amount. Out-of-pocket maximum: the ceiling on what you pay in a plan year; once you hit it, covered care is paid in full by the plan. We tell you which of these your plan uses and where you stand on each before your first session.

If we find during verification that your specific plan isn't one we're in, we tell you upfront. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, you can still see us and we provide superbills for reimbursement.

If insurance isn't going to work, we have self-pay and limited sliding scale options. Details are on the insurance hub.

No. Ala Therapy Collective doesn't bill Medicaid. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan is UnitedHealthcare's Medicaid product in the states where it operates, and it isn't one of Oklahoma's SoonerSelect plans; those are Aetna Better Health, Humana Healthy Horizons, and Oklahoma Complete Health. If your card says Community Plan, SoonerSelect, or SoonerCare, reach out anyway and we'll point you toward in-network options.

Yes, online. Kenzie Langford is licensed in Texas and Massachusetts as well as Oklahoma, and UnitedHealthcare and Optum are in network in both states. Each state has its own page: Optum and UnitedHealthcare therapy in Texas and Optum and UnitedHealthcare therapy in Massachusetts.
