INSURANCE
Since I am an a out-of-network provider for insurance companies, your reimbursement from your insurance company will be a smaller amount than from your therapist who does not accept your insurance. I am willing to provide you with a claim form at each visit, monthly, or whenever is best for you; which you can then submit to your insurance for reimbursement. The insurance company then issues a reimbursement check to the policy – holder. I have chosen not to be a provider for insurances because they often dictate the pace and the parameters of our work together, including the type of therapy you will receive and the number of allowed sessions. This allows you to choose the focus and the pace of our work, not the insurance company.
Questions to Ask Your Insurance Company:
What are my mental health benefits?
What percent of cost do you cover, per session, for out of pocket network providers?
What are my deductibles and has it been met?
How many therapy sessions does my plan cover?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
