Frequently Asked Questions — DC Medicaid members
Do I need a referral to see a PMHNP-BC at MJB Holistic?
Most DC Medicaid plans do not require a referral to see a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for outpatient mental health care. Your specific plan may differ — we'll verify before your first appointment.
Will DC Medicaid cover telehealth psychiatry visits?
Most DC Medicaid plans cover telehealth psychiatry on the same terms as in-person visits. We'll confirm your specific telehealth coverage during benefits verification.
What if my DC Medicaid plan isn't accepted?
If your plan turns out to be one we can't accept, we'll let you know during benefits verification — before any visit, before any charges. You can either pay out of pocket (we offer a sliding-scale option) or we can refer you to other providers in your network.
How long does benefits verification take?
Usually one to two business days. Once verified, we'll walk you through your expected costs and schedule your first appointment.
Are mental health visits confidential?
Yes. All clinical visits and records are protected by HIPAA. Insurance claims include diagnosis codes per standard medical billing — but visit content stays between you and your provider.
