An important note about using health insurance for therapy sessions:
There are many reasons why individuals may opt out of utilizing insurance for their sessions, including inadequate mental health coverage and preferring to keep details of their life discussed in session fully confidential, among others.
In essence, billing insurance entails your therapist giving you a formal mental illness diagnosis and your insurance company having access to your diagnosis and documentation. Insurance companies may then determine your care, such as limiting provider selection and number of sessions. However, using your insurance benefits may decrease barriers in accessing mental health services. If you’d like to move forward with using insurance, let me know and I can help you verify your benefits to ensure I’m in-network with your plan.
Good Faith Estimate:
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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 picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
