Out of Network Benefits
If your insurance plan offers out-of network benefits you may be eligible for your private psychotherapy sessions to be covered by your insurance and pending your insurance plan, I am able to submit out of network claims on your behalf pending your specific plan. When contacting your insurance company it is helpful to ask:
Do I have out of network benefits for psychotherapy with a licensed psychologist?
What are the benefits for the 90837 & 90834 codes (individual therapy) and 90847 (couples)?
How many sessions or hours are covered, and for what period of time?
Is there a co-pay for a session with an out-of-network provider and is the reimbursement percentage for the “reimbursable amount” (cap for what insurance will cover for a service) or the provider’s full out of pocket fee?
Do I need to submit any forms to use my out-of-network benefits?
I am happy to talk with you about any questions you may have regarding billing and making best use of your service options.
Good Faith Estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers need to give clients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
To learn more about your right to a Good Faith Estimate and for any questions you might have, you can access more information here, email FederalPPDRQuestions@cms.hhs.gov, or call 1- 800-985-3059.
