Insurance

If you choose to use insurance, you are responsible for understanding your policy. Check with their benefits coordinator to verify coverage for you and your provider, and to check for prior authorization requirements. Treatment that is ‘medically necessary’ is usually covered, but some policies have specific restrictions you need to know about.  If you have an insurance plan that we are not in network with, documents will be provided for you and you can submit them on your own behalf.

 

Services that are not directly related to patient care are rarely covered by insurance. Things like team meetings to coordinate care (mostly for children and teens), phone consultations, copying of medical records for legal cases, non-clinical reports (e.g. for a school or legal issue), or coordinating on a legal issue are usually out-of-pocket expenses.

 

Self-Pay

Self-pay is also available and has benefits. You can preserve more privacy without concern that insurance companies or employers will be able to review your personal information that you discuss during sessions. You can fully participate in decision-making regarding duration of treatment, frequency of visits and goal setting without interference from insurance companies.
