Navigating Insurance
Insurance can be confusing.
The following are some helpful tips for determining which options works best for you:
Use Out of Network Benefits (OON), if you have them: Some insurance plans provide out of network benefits, which offers you coverage for you to see providers that are not in your insurance plan’s network. It is important to note that this option requires you to pay the full cost up front. After the session, I will send you a receipt or “super bill” which you will use for submitting a claim to your insurance, prompting them to pay part, if not all, of the service. OON benefits are often also subject to a deductible so it really is so important for you to get these specifics from your insurance plan
Pay with HSA/FSA: If that is the case, I can keep your Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account card on your client file and charge it as I would with a credit/debit card. Please note that I will collect your payment option and payment form prior to our intake appointment via the new client paperwork. Some Medical Flex Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) may allow for reimbursement for services — reach out to your health benefits contractor to learn more.
Consider Private Pay: There are benefits to private pay that folks dont have communicated to them. Not only does private pay (ie not using insurance) allow us flexibility in how often and for how long we are able to meet, it also means I am not required to provide a diagnosis, increasing your own privacy. You would not have a therapy file added to your health care record, optimizing the control you have over your own health information. Private pay also allows me to offer specialty services that are not always covered by insurance plans, including couples/family sessions. Some times the deductible we have under our insurance plans are so high, it is not likely we will meet it within the year. This may be another reason for why private pay would better suit your needs as opposed to your insurance plan.

You will need to call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask to speak to a representative about the details of your coverage. They will be able to confirm if your insurance plan provides out of network benefits.
