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.

If you don’t qualify for insurance coverage, our Public Benefits and Insurance Navigation Team can assess you for our sliding fee schedule of discounts (English / Spanish), 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: PUBLIC BENEFITS AND INSURANCE NAVIGATION SERVICES

Please plan to meet with the Public Benefits and Insurance Navigation team at least one business day before your first appointment. This timing will help us make sure everything is in place administratively.
