Frequently Asked

  • Yes, we currently accept Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.

    If you’re unsure whether your plan is in-network, feel free to reach out - I’m happy to check for you.

  • Yes! I provide therapy exclusively through secure virtual sessions, so you can access care from wherever you feel most comfortable - your home, office, or anywhere with privacy.

    Please note: Clients must be physically located in the state of Iowa at the time of their session to receive services.

  • Before your intake session, I recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm coverage. Here are a few helpful questions to ask:

    • Is Mark Biangmano, LMHC an in- network provider under my plan?

    • Does my plan cover outpatient mental health counseling?

    • Do I have a copay or deductible for these services?

    • Is there a limit to the number of sessions covered?

  • Golden Mental Health Counseling uses a secure, HIPAA compliant platform called Simple Practice for all virtual sessions.

    Once your appointment is scheduled, you’ll receive an email with forms to complete and a link to your client portal. This portal is where you’ll enter your information and join your video sessions.

  • Yes, I offer private pay options for clients who prefer not to use insurance.

    • 30-minute session: $50

    • 60-minute session: $100

    Payment is billed at the end of each session.

  • I understand that life happens. Each client is allowed one free late cancellation or no-show. After that:

    • Late cancellations (less than 12 hours’ notice) are billed at $50

    • No-shows are billed at $100

    I remain in the virtual session room for 15 minutes past the scheduled start time before marking the appointment as a no-show.
