Plus Answers To Your Frequently Asked Fee & Insurance Questions

Psychotherapy is an investment of time and energy for both people. You may have been struggling for a long time, or you may be newly-diagnosed with an illness or disorder. Either way, you deserve the time and energy it takes to work on yourself. It may be hard at times, but it will be worth it.

Out-of-Network Billing

Even if I am not in-network with your insurance provider, you may still be able to use your out-of-network benefits to receive reimbursement for therapy sessions. To simplify this process and make therapy more accessible, I work with a specialized billing service that manages insurance claims on your behalf.

How My Out-of-Network Billing Works

  1. Benefit Verification: My billing service can help verify your out-of-network benefits before you start therapy.
  2. Simplified Payment: You only pay your co-insurance portion directly to me at the time of your session.
  3. Streamlined Billing: I handle all insurance paperwork and submissions for you.
  4. Quick Processing: My billing service submits claims promptly, reducing wait times for reimbursement.
  5. Direct Reimbursement: The insurance company reimburses me for the remaining portion.

Advantages of My Billing Process

  • Affordability: Pay only your co-insurance upfront, making starting and continuing therapy easier.
  • Convenience: No need to deal with superbills or spend time on the phone with your insurance company.
  • Time-Saving: Avoid waiting weeks or months for reimbursement from your insurance provider, ensuring an efficient process.
  • Peace of Mind: Focus on your therapy while I manage the insurance complexities, providing a sense of ease and comfort.

 

Insurance complexities shouldn’t be a barrier to receiving quality mental health care. My goal is to make the billing process as smooth and stress-free as possible, allowing you to focus on what matters most – your well-being.

If you have any questions about my billing process or want to verify your out-of-network benefits, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m here to help you navigate your insurance options and make informed decisions about your care.

It’s best to contact your insurance and ask if you have in-network or out-of-network mental health coverage. If you need to provide a “CPT code” or a “service code” you can provide the following codes:

  • 90791 Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation
  • 90837 Psychotherapy, 55 minutes


You may also want to mention the type of license that I have to ensure services with my type of credential are covered. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington.

Other things you may want to ask about are:

  • What your deductible is
  • What your co-insurance payment will be
  • How many visits you get per year
  • If you need authorization for your visits


Contact me if you would like more guidance on how to figure out what your insurance will cover.

To cancel a scheduled therapy session, I require a minimum of 24 hours notice in advance of your session. If you don’t show up to a scheduled session, I will charge you the full session fee for the missed session. If you cancel the session with less than 24 hours’ notice, I will charge you 75% of the full session fee.
