Insurance and Billing

I do not bill insurance directly. I will happily provide you with a “superbill” that may be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

 

This is not a guarantee of reimbursement, each insurance company is different.

When you call your insurance provider, ask for “out-of-network” reimbursement for therapy. 

Some questions you might ask your insurance company before beginning therapy:

​

  1. Does my policy include behavioral health benefits?

  2. Does my policy cover out-of-network therapists? If so, what are the out-of-pocket costs?

  3. Does my policy cover: Associate Marriage and Family Therapists?

  4. How much will my policy pay for a 50-minute psychotherapy session?

  5. Are there specific limits to my coverage or deductibles to meet before coverage begins?

  6. Do I need pre-approval before seeing a provider, if so who needs to obtain pre-approval?

  7. Is there anything else I should know?

​

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your care will cost.

Under the 2021 No Surprises Act, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services, including psychotherapy. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services.  ​Please reach out directly for questions on rates and billing to receive a Good Faith Estimate for care.
