I do not participate with insurance panels at this time. Often, insurance companies set limits on the number, length, and type of sessions - unfortunately this means that you have a reduced ability to choose your provider and the types of services you are looking for, as well as reduced privacy. Insurance companies require me to render a diagnosis, and for many of my clients, this is neither necessary nor helpful in the process of achieving their goals. Not having to work with the limitations set by insurance companies, we are able to tailor therapy to meet your specific needs.
With that being said, I am instead "insurance friendly", meaning that I work with a platform called Mentaya that helps clients get money back from paying out of pocket for out of network therapy sessions. If you desire to get reimbursed for a portion of your therapy cost, this might be a great option for you. If you qualify, Mentaya will file your out of network claim and handle all the paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. If you have more questions about this, let's schedule a consultation to talk more. You can check out what your insurance plan's coverage is like for out of network therapy sessions by using this tool:
If the cost of therapy still makes you feel unsure, consider these options:
- If available, consider using HSA/FSA funds to cover the cost of therapy sessions.
- Submitting a superbill to your insurance company for reimbursement (this does depend on your specific plan - it's a good idea to call the number on the back of your insurance card to see what your coverage is like for out of network providers)
- Speak with an accountant to see if the cost of therapy can count towards your out of pocket health expenses for the year.
Please remember that therapy is an investment in yourself, your child, and your family. What would be the long term cost of not seeking help?
