Insurance & Payment Options

Whether you have private or public insurance or if you are not currently insured, Whitman-Walker Health wants to work with you to find a way to get you into care.

We accept many commercial and public insurance plans to help keep you engaged in care. Below you will find a list that highlights our accepted insurance plans per carrier.

Please present your insurance card and identification at each visit. Any copayment, and any coinsurance or deductible balance, will be due at the time of your visit. We accept payment by check, credit card, debit card, and cash.

Our Public Benefits and Insurance Navigation Team can assess you for our sliding fee schedule of discounts (English / Spanish / Amharic), which will help you get a discount on your care if you qualify.

Don’t Have Insurance?

Our Public Benefits and Insurance Navigation Team (PBIN) will be happy to talk with you about your health insurance options, walk you through enrollment, or answer any of your questions. Call our Insurance Helpline at: 202.745.6151 (Monday – Friday, 9 am – 5 pm).

Our Public Benefits and Insurance Navigators meet with patients virtually by appointments and have very limited on-site capacity, so we do not encourage walking in. Call our Insurance Helpline at 202.745.6151 to start your screening and to schedule an appointment.

If you are uninsured, you will be Self Pay until you have completed screening and enrollment for insurance you are eligible. We encourage you to meet with our PBIN team prior to scheduling an appointment. More info here:

Billing and Payments

Patient cost sharing – your portion of your care – is due when you receive service. If you have a balance on your account, you will receive a text message or email with a link to pay your balance. You may pay a balance in person at our check-in desks or by calling 202.797.3524.

If you have questions about your insurance or a bill for services, you may call 202.797.3524 or email: allbilling@whitman-walker.org.
