There are currently three different ways to pay for services:
You will pay for services out of pocket, without the involvement of insurance. Invoices will become available for you on the client portal (you will be notified by e-mail). You can pay your bill online, in session, or with autopay.
I am in-network with most plans of Blue Cross Blue shield.
However, it is your responsibility to confirm with Blue Cross Blue Shield that I am in network for your specific plan, and if you want, to inquire about the terms of your coverage (copayment, deductible, etc.). You can do this in one of the following ways:
By phone: Call the BCBS phone number for members, indicated on the back of your health insurance card.
If you are using your health insurance benefits to cover cost for this treatment, please enter your insurance information to the client portal when you are asked to do so.
After a service is provided, I will submit a claim directly to your insurance carrier. Upon receiving your insurance’s response (Explanation of Benefits), I will update your bill. An invoice with your co-pay or deductible charges, if there are any, will become available for you on the client portal (you will be notified by e-mail). You can pay this bill online, in session, or with autopay.
Please remember to clarify your benefits and coverage with your insurance company prior to receiving services. Any failure to receive insurance coverage would result in your responsibility for paying the bills for services.
If you have a plan with out-of-network benefits, you may be able to be reimbursed for up to 80% of my fee. You will pay for services out-of-pocket (see Private Pay), and I will provide you with statements/receipts that you can submit for reimbursement to your insurance company. Notice that this is your responsibility to work with your insurance to be reimbursed.
If you are interested in this option, please contact your insurance company prior to treatment to determine if you have out-of-network benefits, and consider asking the following recommended questions:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
How much does my plan cover for out-of-network providers?
How many sessions are covered, and under what time period?
Do I have an annual deductible, and has it been met?
Do I need authorization for outpatient mental health services?
What does my plan allow (“reasonable and customary”) for the following codes: 90791, 90837, and 90834?
How do I go about obtaining reimbursement?
What forms do I need to submit, where do I get them, and what information do I need to provide to be reimbursed?
