Out-of-Network Benefits

​

If your insurance plan is not listed above,  you may still be able to utilize your "Out of Network" benefits. Please inquire with you own insurance about it. 

​

Some helpful things to keep in mind when speaking with your insurance company are:

• Is mental health counseling a covered benefit in my plan? If so, what types are covered? Individual, Family, Couples?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

• Does my deductible apply towards mental health benefits?

• Are there a certain number of sessions I am allowed per year for counseling?

• Are sessions limited to a specific time allotment? (50 mins?, 60 mins?)

• Do I need a referral from my primary care physician prior to attending counseling sessions?

• How much will I be reimbursed for using an 'Out of Network' provider?

​

Most clients with insurance plans have the ability to be reimbursed for a portion of my fee. I can provide you a receipt (Superbill) for you to turn into your insurance plan for reimbursement if requested.  Payment is due at the time of service via cash, check, or credit card. ​

​

There can be some great advantages to working with an 'Out of Network' provider.

• Freedom to get matched with a therapist that suits your needs

• We can assess your individual needs and create a plan collaboratively that puts your needs first without the restrictions and requirements of an insurance plan.

• Privacy and Confidentiality are increased knowing that I do not have to share any or very little of your information with an insurance company.

• We are not bound by a predetermined number of sessions

• No restrictions on online sessions

Good Faith Estimate

​

As of January 1, 2022, state-licensed or certified health care providers need to give a Good Faith Estimate of healthcare charges to every new and continuing client who is either uninsured or is not planning to submit a claim to their insurance for the healthcare services they seek.
​
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges  for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a GFE
for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a GFE before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your GFE.

This GFE does not account for late cancellations, no-show fees, crisis sessions, non-therapeutic charges, case management fees, court litigation fees, or other financial arrangements determined on a case by case form.
