Insurance
I am an out-of-network provider and our billing team can provide a superbill for clients to pursue reimbursement directly.
As a licensed clinician, direct reimbursement rates are typically anywhere from 50% to 80% and superbills can go toward your deductible. Therefore, your overall coverage may not be that different than in-network coverage. We advise you to reach out to your insurance plan directly to determine your benefits in advance. We cannot guarantee coverage from any given company, but will support you with the proof of services rendered.
A Superbill does not apply to extended sessions beyond 55 minutes or any services where there is not a mental health diagnosis. This includes but is not limited to relationship therapy, individual coaching, consulting, relationship coaching, extended sessions, and mini-relationship retreats.
