Will my insurance cover therapy?

 

Yes, your insurance may cover some or most of the cost of therapy. How much they pay for depends on your plan. 

 

We do not accept insurance directly. Instead, most of our clients use their Out Of Network insurance benefit to pay for most of the cost of each session. This is a benefit that many insurance companies offer. When you use your Out Of Network benefit, your insurance company reimburses you for a portion of what you paid. Often, people who use this benefit end up paying what amounts to their normal co-pay. 

​​

​

It works like this: 

 

1. You pay for your session. Our fee is $200 per individual session. We accept credit cards, HSA /FSA (health savings account/flexible spending account), cash, or check.

 

2. After every session, we will email you a document called a Superbill. The Superbill is your receipt for payment. It also contains all of the information your insurance company will need to reimburse you.

 

3. Send the Superbill to your insurance. You can usually fax or email them. You can submit them weekly or monthly.

 

4. Your insurance company will send a check directly to you. The amount you receive depends on your plan.

​Why don’t you take insurance directly?

 

We value your right to make your own decisions about your healthcare. When you see an in-network provider, health insurance companies will often dictate how many sessions you can attend, what diagnoses qualify for coverage, and even what clinical techniques your therapist should use. Not being in network with insurance allows you and I to work together to make a treatment plan that is right for you, not one dictated by an insurance company. Additionally, we prefer to focus 100% on providing quality therapy to the people we work with. In-network providers are often asked to spend hours on the phone pursuing billing issues and providing clinical information about your treatment. Not working directly with insurance allows us more time outside of therapy sessions to attend conferences, teach classes, and stay abreast of the latest research so that we can be the best possible help to our clients.

​

 

Do you offer a sliding scale? 

 

We are committed to making therapy accessible to as many people as possible. Each therapist has reserved a number of reduced fee spots. Typically, these spots are used by current clients who have committed to therapy and have found themselves facing a financial hardship at some point while working with us. Occasionally, we have a reduced fee spot open up and are able to offer it to a new client. Due to the limited number of sliding scale spots, we are only able to offer a reduced fee to those with a true financial need or extenuating circumstance.
