Does New Leaf take Ascension in Florida?
New Leaf accepts Ascension for telehealth psychiatric care across Florida, with benefit verification and booking handled through Headway.
Appointments are by secure video anywhere in Florida, for children, adolescents, and adults, with Emily Light, PMHNP-BC.
Does Ascension cover a psychiatric nurse practitioner?
Most plans cover a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner under the same behavioral health benefit as a psychiatrist. Emily Light is a PMHNP-BC, a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in Florida.
That means she can diagnose mental health conditions and manage medication for children, adolescents, and adults. You do not need a referral to book, and you do not need to see anyone else first.
What you pay is set by your own Ascension plan. Headway checks your benefits and shows an estimated cost before you schedule.
What to know about Ascension coverage
Whether your Ascension plan covers telehealth behavioral health, and at what cost, is set by that specific plan. Headway verifies it before you book.
As with any plan, your deductible and copay determine what you actually pay, which Headway estimates before you commit to an appointment.
Because plan details vary so much between products, we do not publish a price here. Headway verifies your specific benefits and shows an estimated cost before you schedule, so you can decide with the number in front of you.
