Insurance
E & M counseling is considered an out-of-network provider.
We take immense pride in delivering the highest quality of care to our clients. It’s important to know that many insurance providers offer out-of-network benefits that you may not be aware of. We are here to offer guidance and support to help you fully understand and navigate your insurance options.
What does being an out-of-network provider mean?
As an out-of-network provider, we do not bill insurance companies directly. Instead, you pay us directly at the end of each session and at the end of each month, we provide you with a receipt or Superbill. This document can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement, should you have out-of-network benefits. Our aim is to equip you with the information needed to make the most of your insurance while ensuring you receive the exceptional care you deserve.
Advantages of Private Payment/Out-of-Pocket
The choice to involve your insurance company in your mental health care is completely up to you. Many clients choose not to involve their insurance for the following reasons:
Session and Therapy Limitations:
Health insurance plans often place limits on the number of sessions and types of therapy they will cover.
Impact of Mental Health Diagnosis:
Insurance coverage usually requires a mental health diagnosis for therapy services. This diagnosis becomes a permanent part of your healthcare record, which may affect future access to quality of life or health insurance coverage.
How To Navigate Your Out-Of-Network (OON) Benefits
