Out-of-Network Benefits

Understanding Out-of-Network Coverage

Even if we're not in your insurance network, you may still have out-of-network benefits that can help cover the cost of our services. Many insurance plans provide partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health providers.

How Out-of-Network Benefits Work:

  • You pay the full session fee at the time of service
  • We provide you with a detailed receipt (superbill)
  • You submit the receipt to your insurance company
  • Your insurance reimburses you based on your out-of-network benefits

Reimbursement Process

  • Step 1: Pay for services at time of appointment
  • Step 2: Receive detailed superbill with all necessary codes
  • Step 3: Submit superbill to your insurance company
  • Step 4: Receive reimbursement check from insurance
  • Tip: Contact your insurance company to understand your out-of-network deductible, coinsurance percentage, and annual out-of-network maximum.
