Insurance
Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for counseling services to be covered in full or in part through reimbursement. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.
I am currently out-of-network with insurance providers which means I do not bill insurance directly. I can, however, provide you with a receipt or superbill which may be used (depending on your coverage plan) to submit to your insurance provider for partial reimbursement of services.
I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
- Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits? If so, what are my out-of-network benefits?
- Do I have a out-of-network deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
- Does my plan cover mental health counseling services provided by a licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHC-A)?
- Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
- What is the reimbursement rate for individual sessions? Couples sessions?
- Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
One of the reasons I currently do not accept insurance is that insurance requires me to provide a diagnosis. These diagnosis become part of your medical record and insurance companies use the diagnosis to set limits on the types of services you can receive, the length of sessions, etc. Being out-of-network means I have greater flexibility in partnering with you to decide the types of interventions that work best for you without approval from a third party.
