More Information on Payment
-
If you have out-of-network benefits, you may seek reimbursement if you wish. I do this by providing you with a “superbill”. This is a monthly receipt that shows what services you received and the amount you’ve already spent. You may submit claims for reimbursement with your insurance company. The process for claim submission is different for each plan. Please contact your insurance to find out how you can submit superbills (as opposed to single session claims). You do this by calling the number on the back of your insurance card.
State insurance, otherwise known as Medicaid, does not reimburse for out of network behavioral health services.
Here are some helpful questions to ask your insurance provider:
Do I have behavioral/mental health coverage under my plan?
How many outpatient psychotherapy sessions am I allotted in my plan?
Do I have out-of-network benefits for behavioral health on my plan?
(If yes,) Do I have a deductible?
(If yes,) What part of that deductible have I met so far (if at any)?
What is my co-pay/co-insurance for out-of-network behavioral health visits?
How do I submit “Superbills” for reimbursement?
Are there any limitations, requirements, or restrictions in accessing my plan?
Am I limited to a dollar amount per year that will be covered?
-
You will be asked to place a debit or credit card on file for your appointments. You can pay for your therapy with Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
You technically are not supposed to used these cards for missed appointments, however.
-
I take cash, debit, & credit cards.
Payment is due at the time of service unless special arrangements have been made.
Your card will automatically be charged the evening of your appointment. Never before.
-
Please remember to cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance. You will be responsible for the entire fee if cancellation is less than 24 hours.
Good Faith Estimates
New laws have been put in place to protect consumers. This is called the “No Surprises Act”
To estimate your yearly cost for therapy, take the rate you’re paying and multiply it by the number of weeks per year you expect to receive therapy. This will give you a picture of how much you may pay for therapy in a year with us.
