    Using Out of Network Benefits

    Clients can utilize out of network benefits and seek reimbursement by asking the insurance provider the following questions:

    • What are my mental health benefits?

    • Do I have a Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account (HSA/FSA)?

    • How much does my plan cover for the following CPT billing codes: 90791 (intake assessment), 90837 (53 min therapy session), 90834 (37-45 min therapy session)

    • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

    • How and where do I send documents for reimbursement?

    Benefits of Private Pay

    Therapy sessions are a very sacred space. Paying privately for services allows you to maintain a higher sense of privacy without needing to have a health insurance company involved (e.g., reviewing progress notes, treatment plans, diagnostic assessments, etc.). You also maintain much greater control over the sensitive details of your life.

    Other benefits include:

    • PPO members may receive up to 80% payment reimbursement

    • Skip the waitlist & get an appointment within 1 week

    • Meet as often as you want/need without insurance limitations on the number of approved sessions

    • Bypass the diagnosis on your medical record that is required by insurance companies

    • Minimize risk of ability to obtain or maintain a security clearance, future insurability & admission to the military

    • Provided services may be tax deductible

    Is coaching covered by insurance?

    • Coaching is a non-medical service and is not covered by health insurance.

    • Coaching may be reimbursed or covered by your employer
