I am considered an out-of-network provider with all insurance plans. This allows therapy to remain more personalized, flexible, and guided by your needs rather than insurance requirements. When using “in-network” services, a mental health diagnosis is required to bill insurance, which becomes part of your medical record. However many insurance providers do offer out-of-network benefits, and I can provide a superbill (invoice) to submit to your insurance company if that is your preference.

When using out of network benefits, a mental health diagnosis is required to bill insurance, which becomes part of your medical record. Insurance companies can also dictate the frequency and duration of appointments. If you would like to submit a superbill to your insurance provider for partial reimbursement I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to learn more about your out-of-network benefits. You are responsible for all fees regardless of insurance coverage. Here are some questions to ask:
Do I have out-of-network mental health insurance benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
Is pre-certification or pre-authorization required?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session? Initial intake session (CPT code 90791) and for subsequent therapy sessions (CPT code 90837 for individual therapy)
