Out-of-network refers to you paying out of pocket for your psychotherapy/counseling services. Some insurance companies may or may not reimburse you for your out of pocket fees as all insurance providers varies. Upon your request, you will be provided with a receipt known as the “super bill” in order for you to request reimbursement from your insurance provider.
I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
- Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
- Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
- Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
- Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
Remember: Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.
Benefits of Forgoing Insurance and Paying Privately:
- Choosing someone who’s right for you– Participating insurance panel therapists apply to participate on that insurance panel, and are accepted per the insurance company’s availability to add new providers to their panel. Insurance companies typically include therapists based on location, price, or therapeutic approach. This may mean that access to customized, quality mental health care is limited and you may find your therapist is not a good fit for you.
- Control over your therapy– Many insurance companies set limits on the type of treatment, appointment frequency, or amount of sessions you may have. Insurance companies may require you to take medication before they will approve counseling sessions for you, and may also demand a review of your mental health records, which means they can review and/or question the treatment you are receiving and/or whether or not they will decide to continue or discontinue coverage for your sessions.
- Confidentiality – Insurance companies require, at minimum, client name, dates of service, and mental health diagnosis in order to pay (or reimburse you) for your therapy sessions. You must sign a form that allows the counselor to communicate this confidential information to your insurance company, though your counseling is confidential. In the event that your insurance company requires pre-authorization for treatment and/or reviews your file, additional information, such as therapy session notes, must be provided to the insurance company. It is important to note that this information becomes part of your record and could be used by insurance companies to determine future insurance rates or eligibility, eligibility in the armed forces, driving record, etc. This is particularly important when considering counseling for your child(ren).
Payment:
I accept cash, check and all major credit cards as forms of payment.
Cancellation Policy:
Please note a credit card will be required to be on-file prior to your first appointment regardless if you are paying by cash or check. Your card will only be charged, for a late cancellation or no show appointment according to the appointment cancellation policy. If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you will be charged for the full rate of the session.
