INSURANCE INFORMATION

Out of Network (OON) 

I provide super bills for clients who would like to use their OON benefits. Please note, when using OON benefits you are responsible for the out of pocket fee at the time of your session. 

To check your benefits, please contact your insurance company and ask what your OON benefit deductible is and what your coinsurance is once deductible is met. 

​

OON benefits are not accepted for any treatment/ Diagnosis that do not meet a medical necessity outlined by Insurance 
 

SEX THERAPY

If you meet criteria for a Sexual Dysfunction outlined in the DSM-5, this will be outlined on a super bill however, this does not promise reimbursement when using OON benefits. Please make sure you are asking your insurance company if they cover Sexual Dysfunctions. 
 

COUPLES THERAPY IS NOT REIMBURSABLE

Typically these are not reimbursable therapeutic services. Insurance will typically only pay for members who support the "identified patient" with their mental health condition which is better known as family therapy.  The partner(s) are there to support the goals of the "identified patient". This is not Couples therapy as couples therapy focuses on all parties in the relationship working towards the same goal. Using billing codes incorrectly is a form of fraud on the clinicians end and a practice I will not conduct.

​

Be wary when an insurance company says that they cover couples counseling because it’s usually misleading. Most likely it is not referring to couples therapy or marriage counseling. Instead, it means that they cover a procedural code for a spouse to be present in therapy.
 

CONFIDENTIALITY

When using insurance, a client is giving up a portion of their confidentiality as Insurance companies have the right to audit clinicians notes. These notes become viewable to insurance. These notes include very personal and vulnerable information. Often times the information requested for audits is requested via fax, making it possible for many to view. As a clinician it is very important to me to protect all clients HIPPA rights. Using insurance, doesn't allow me to ensure full confidentiality.
 

MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS BECOMES A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION

In order to be reimbursed by insurance, they REQUIRE a mental health diagnosis. This becomes attached to your medical records. With this diagnosis you are considered to now have a pre-existing condition. This becomes problematic if you were to seek a career in a high security clearance position (including but not limited to  government). It's been found that many careers will rule out applicants who are deemed "unstable".

​

COACHING

Coaching is not a medically necessary service. Clients who are being seen for coaching are functioning  in their day to day without a barrier and are looking to enhance normal functioning. Coaching is not covered by insurance and  does not treat symptoms. You will not be diagnosed. Coaching is a support in reaching goals that you are struggling to reach on your own.
