My standard process is to keep a credit card on file on autopay. All major credit cards and HSA/FSA cards are accepted. Other forms of payment, like monthly checks, may be arranged on an individual basis.
-
I am an out-of-network (OON) provider, meaning I am not in-network with any insurance plans, but will provide superbills for you to submit for reimbursement. Many insurance plans have OON benefits, and those I work with typically are reimbursed 50-90% of the session rate after meeting their deductible.
-
Many PPO and POS plans include out-of-network (OON) benefits. If your plan does, you'll typically pay the full session fee until you meet your OON deductible. After that, your insurance may reimburse a percentage of each session. Once you reach your OON out-of-pocket maximum, your plan may reimburse at a higher rate, depending on your specific policy.
To make this process easier, I use Reimbursify, where you can check your OON benefits for free. You can also call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
What is my remaining out-of-network deductible?
What percentage will I be reimbursed for outpatient mental health services?
What is the allowable rate for CPT code 90834 (individual therapy) / 90847 (couples therapy)?
-
A superbill is a detailed, itemized receipt provided by a healthcare professional. I send monthly superbills that you can submit to your insurance plan for reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits. The submittal process varies by insurance, but typically involves completing a member claim form, submitting the superbill through your online insurance portal, and receiving a check or a direct deposit from your insurance plan.
