Payment and Fees



Statements will be mailed to all patients at the end of the month.


If you plan to use insurance, and have out of network coverage for which you will submit a claim, it is important to understand the possible implications of doing so. To obtain coverage for psychotherapy services, therapists are required to provide your insurance company with a diagnosis from the DSM-V classification of mental disorders from the American Psychiatric Association. In addition, the insurance company will have the right to limit the number of sessions, and ask for results of testing and a list of your symptoms. This will become part of your permanent health record. As more health information is communicated and stored electronically, there may also be concern about the safety and use of your health information.

It is also important to know that most insurance companies do not provide coverage for brief clinical hypnosis.

Insurance


Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions, being sure to clarify out-of-network coverage:

  • Do I have outpatient mental health/behavioral health benefits? You should check under local rulings.
  • What is my deductible for the year and has it been met?
  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
  • Is a referral required from my primary care physician?
