Insurance
I am a private-pay (a.k.a “out-of-network”) provider. Clients pay the full session fee at the time of service. If your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement for the cost of my services by filing claims directly with your insurance company.
If you are someone for whom money is a substantial barrier to therapy, please let me know and I can work with you to explore options for accessible care.
Information for Out-of-Network Benefits
Not all insurance companies reimburse for out-of-network providers; however, most insurance companies that provide out-of-network benefits cover between 50%-75% of the cost per session. Coverage for my services will vary depending on your health insurance provider and specific plan. I will provide the necessary “superbill form” to submit for out-of-network claim filing.
You can call your insurance company and ask the following questions to determine your mental health coverage and out-of-network benefits:
Does my insurance plan have out-of-network mental health (behavioral health) benefits?
Do I have an out-of-network deductible that has to be met first before I get reimbursed?
If I do have a deductible, has any of it been covered yet this year?
What is the "usual, customary, and reasonable fee" covered by my insurance for "outpatient psychotherapy” (CPT codes 90834 and 90791)?
How much of the fee does my insurance cover? This is usually a percentage.
Is there a session limit?
What paperwork is required to submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement? (This is usually called a "superbill" and also a claims form, ask where you can find their claims form)
Where do I submit this paperwork? (Sometimes it's online, sometimes it's by mail only)
