INSURANCE
I currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance at this time. However, prior to conducting our first session, insurance verification is required. I will ask you to send me photos of the front and back of your insurance card to verify that I am in-network with your insurance. It is the clients' responsibility to pay their deductible or co-pay in-full following every appointment. Any other questions can be answered by your insurance carrier. I am considered Out-Of-Network for all other insurance carriers at this time. For any questions about this, please do not hesitate to discuss this with me either via phone or email.
IN-NETWORK PROVIDERS
While it is ultimately your responsibility to be informed about the specific details of your health plan, I strongly value transparency about costs. Prior to the first appointment, you will be speaking with a Care Coordinator who will provide you any additional information you may need prior to starting treatment.
In order for you to be informed about your coverage, below are some questions to ask about your outpatient mental health coverage when calling the member services number on the back of your card. If the representative uses any terminology you do not understand, seek clarification because it is their job to inform you about your coverage.
-Do I have a deductible, and what amount is it?
-Does my deductible apply for outpatient mental health
services?
-Do I have a copay/coinsurance and what amount is it?
-Does my plan restart on January 1 or a different date
each year?
OUT-OF-NETWORK COVERAGE
I am able to work with you even if I am not a participating provider with your insurance.
In these instances, you are charged the rates listed above at the time of the appointment and your insurance carrier will reimburse you directly depending on your plan’s out-of-network benefits.
I provide superbills directly to you which you submit to your insurance carrier. A superbill is a receipt with the minimum necessary amount of health information (i.e. your name, the date of service, the service provided, and diagnosis code). Should your insurer request additional information, please let me know.
Below are some suggestions for understanding your specific plan’s out-of-network coverage. If the representative uses any terminology you do not understand, seek clarification because it is their job to inform you about your coverage.
-Do I have a deductible, and what amount is it?
-Is there a predetermined reimbursement rate or is the
provider’s rate used?
-What percentage of the fee is covered by insurance,
and what percentage do I owe?
-Is authorization required, and if so how is this
completed?
-Is there a maximum number of visits per plan year?
-Typical procedure codes will be 90791 (Diagnostic
Interview) and 90834 (Individual Psychotherapy). Are
these codes approved?
-Does my plan restart on January 1 or a different date
each year?
