FAQ

Who will I be seeing?

Do you take insurance?

Clarity Health KC accepts with Kansas Medicaid (UHC, Sunflower, and HealthyBlue), Aetna, Ambetter, Cigna, and UHC commercial. At this time, we do not accept Medicare, BCBS, or Missouri Medicaid.

Cash, credit, and FSA/HSA cards are accepted.

What are your cash-pay prices?

Initial/new patient evaluations are $200.

For GeneSight (pharmacogenomic / medication genetics) testing only, the cash price is $100. This covers the initial consultation, the informed consent conversation, filing the necessary paperwork with the lab, and facilitating DNA sample collection. After your report is available, results will be provided with a summary interpretation and action points, if necessary, via the patient portal. Any follow-up questions that can be addressed via the portal are also included in this fee. Please note that the lab will charge for services separately. These are sometimes covered by insurance, but most people pay $330 or less out of pocket.

Follow-up appointments are $80.

Please note that choosing to cash-pay may compromise your Medicaid coverage, if applicable.

What kind of patients will you see?

Most patients are children. Jessica is experienced in speaking to families regarding:

  • Children (often foster or adopted) with developmental or behavioral concerns, with unknown or limited biologic information, and the family is looking for a better understanding of the child
  • Children with in-utero exposures to alcohol and/or other substances with concern for or known fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD)
  • Children who were born premature, or with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) at birth
  • Children with possible seizures for initial workup and bridge to long-term care
  • Children and adults with headaches and migraines

Will you do autism Evaluations?

No. This kind of testing is best handled by a developmental pediatrician.

However, genetic testing is recommended for all children with neurodevelopmental differences, including those suspected of having or diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Jessica is happy to meet with you to provide an opinion on possible contributing factors, complete genetic testing, place referrals, connect to resources, and, in some cases, start medication management.
