Fees & Payment Options
Insurance
Many of our clinicians are in-network with the following plans:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO
- Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Choice PPO
- Blue Cross Blue Shield High Performance Network PPO
- Aetna PPO
- United Healthcare/Optum Behavioral Health PPO
We are not in-network with HMO, Medicaid or Community Health, or Medicare plans at this time. Before initiating treatment, we will assist you in verifying your benefits coverage for therapy and assessments. You may have deductibles to meet, co-payments or co-insurance, or limitations or restrictions on the number of sessions covered or the types of services provided, which may affect your expected financial contribution during treatment. It is strongly recommended that you contact your insurance company to verify your network benefits prior to scheduling your initial appointment.
Some insurance plans may outsource behavioral health benefits to a third-party payor. In addition, some plans require pre-authorization for therapy, psychological and neuropsychological assessment services, and others may not cover certain types of assessment codes or diagnostic codes. Be sure to contact the Member Services number on your insurance card to confirm that your coverage includes behavioral health benefits and/or psychological testing services. Claims will only be submitted to Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Blue Choice PPO, Aetna PPO, or UHC/Optum PPO insurance if it is your primary insurance provider. If you have an out-of-network policy as your primary insurance provider and an in-network policy as your secondary insurance provider, we do not submit claims on your behalf.
Your co-payment (for insurance clients) or session fee (for self-pay clients) is due at the time of service. Any outstanding balance not covered by insurance, including any co-payments, co-insurance, deductibles, late fees, and missed appointment charges, will be charged to your credit card on file.
Private Pay
Clients with out-of-network insurance plans are considered “self-pay” and are responsible for payment at the time of service. We accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover), and your self-pay will be charged to your credit card on file. We do not submit claims to plans outside of our network, and we do not defer payment while clients are awaiting reimbursement from their insurance plan. An itemized statement (“superbill”) will be provided for self-pay clients who wish to pursue out-of-network insurance reimbursements; such reimbursements should be directed to the client. You will receive a Good Faith Estimate of primary and supplemental services as part of your intake paperwork for your review prior to your first appointment.
The Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not obligate the client to obtain services at this practice. There may be additional services that are recommended as part of the course of care that are not reflected in the estimate. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. Actual charges may differ from the estimate.
The client/representative may initiate a dispute resolution process if the actual billed charges are substantially in excess of the Good Faith estimate. Any dispute of charges should be submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in writing. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
