Insurance companies mandate a diagnosis, oversee your health records, and may seek access to your information while in therapy. They also may limit your coverage to a set number of therapy sessions per year, regardless of what you're going through. When considering the implications of using insurance, paying out-of-pocket is a better fit for some.

Many health insurance plans offer 80-20% out-of-network mental health benefits with your plan, reimbursing you for 80% of the cost (after deductible is reached) and it may be possible for you to receive reimbursement for online counseling (teletherapy). If you would like to explore this option, contact your insurance and ask whether your out-of-network benefits include teletherapy.
To gain information about your insurance benefits and reimbursement you will need to call the number on the front or the back of your health insurance provider card (member services) and ask the following questions below:
Do I have "out-of-network" mental health insurance benefits with my plan? If so, what are they?
What is my deductible, and has it been met? Do I have to meet it before I am eligible for reimbursement? If so, how much is it?
What is my "co-insurance"?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
What is the coverage amount per session? What percentage will you reimburse me for each session?
Is approval for mental health services required from my primary care doctor?
Will services provided by Jessica Thomas (registered license name) be reimbursable? Her license is 010802.
During the call, your insurance company may ask for the CPT codes your provider will use, including:
An intake session (billing code 90791)
A 45-minute session follow-up session (billing code 90834)
A 60-minute follow-up session (billing code 90837)
In instances where out-of-network benefits are covered, you will be responsible for the full payment at the time of session. I am glad to file claims to your insurance plan for you to get reimbursed, or provide you with a “Superbill” to submit to your insurance carrier.

It may be possible to use your Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Card to pay for some or all of your therapy sessions. Contact your insurance to inquire about this.

In accordance with federal law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
