Insurance
I am an eligible "out-of-network" provider. If you wish to claim insurance reimbursement for my services, call your plan and ask the following questions about "out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits":
- Do you reimburse for psychotherapy with out-of-network LCSWs?
- What is my (or my family's) annual deductible?
- Is there a maximum number of sessions allowable per year, and if so how many?
- What percentage of the provider's fee is reimbursed?
With out-of-network therapy, my procedure is as follows:
- I provide you with a monthly bill.
- You pay me directly and in full.
- You send your insurance company a copy of the bill.
- They reimburse your claim.
The insurance company may also contact me to verify that you are in treatment and for additional provider information.
This arrangement is called "third-party reimbursement."
It is important that you contact your insurance provider to learn the details of your particular plan.
