Frequently Asked Questions about Insurance
Do you accept insurance?
No, I am not in-network with any insurance. If you have Out-of-Network benefits, then we can discuss what that may mean for you in terms of getting reimbursed by your insurance provider, if applicable.
I'm not sure I can afford therapy without using my insurance? What are my options?
If you have out of network benefits, then there is a chance therapy will still fit into your budget.
The key is to find out the following information:
- Does your insurance have out-of-network coverage for outpatient mental health? If you don't know, call your insurance or look up your insurance plan via your plan's website or portal. This information is usually on the back of your insurance card.
- Next, find out what your deductible is. This is the amount you would have to pay before the insurance starts paying anything. For some people this is as low as $100 for others it can be in the thousand dollar range.
- Next, find out what your co-insurance is. Your coinsurance is the percentage you have to pay for therapy after you met the deductible. Meaning, if you have a coinsurance of 30%, then the insurance should cover 70% of what the insurance feels is a reasonable and customary charge - meaning what is typically charged by most therapists.
Once you have that information, you will have a better sense of what you can expect back in terms of reimbursement from your insurance provider. Of course, none of that is set in stone and is only really figured out once a bill is submitted to the insurance.
Do I have to submit bills/claims to the insurance?
One of the things I love doing for my clients and their families is making life as simple as possible. Dealing with insurance is difficult enough and can be anxiety provoking and maddening. Due to my years of experience having worked with insurance, I do have the ability to submit claims to many insurances directly from my portal.
How it would work is after you pay me the full rate for our session, I will then fill out the paperwork and send it directly to your insurance company. That is, as long as I can submit it electronically.
All you have to do is wait, usually a few weeks, for the insurance to send you a check, according to your plan's coverage. The hope is by doing so, I am giving you one less thing for you to have to figure out and give you more time and patience to work on yourself and/or your child. More details about this can be provided during our initial phone call or session.
I don't have Out-of-Network benefits. Do you provide a sliding scale?
Unfortunately, I do not provide a sliding scale. If you are looking for a provider that accepts your insurance then check out the following resources:
- your insurance website for a list of participating providers
- and the following directories - Psychology Today and Therapy Den.
- You can also check out Open Path Collective for a list of therapists that provide low cost therapy.
Do you provide a Good Faith Estimate?
Yes. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
