INSURANCE:
I am currently in-network with
– UnitedHealthcare
– Kansas Medicaid
For all other insurance plans, I am an Out-of-Network provider. I am happy to provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. It is your responsibility to know your benefits and the section below can help guide you in what questions to ask your insurance company to know what your plan covers and if you can be reimbursed for out-of-network benefits.
RISKS OF USING INSURANCE
Please be aware that submitting a mental health or physical health invoice for reimbursement from any health insurance company, in any capacity, carries a certain amount of risk to confidentiality, privacy, or to future capacity to obtain employment, military affiliation, health, disability, or life insurance. In some cases, insurance companies may share information with a national medical information data bank. For example, your health insurance record may prevent employment at employers that require high level security clearance such as state employment, federal employment, law enforcement, or military employment. Individuals may also encounter higher premiums or exclusions in their care.
While this information is meant to be transparent, it is not meant to discourage seeking out mental health treatment. Please speak to your provider directly if this is a concern.
Payment:
I accept cash, checks, HSA cards and credit cards for payment. Payment is due at time of service and I will require a credit card be kept on file. Unless otherwise requested, your session fee will be charged to the the card on file. This includes self-pay, co-pay, co-insurance and deductibles.
Cancellation Policy
You are responsible for attending each appointment. If you cannot keep the scheduled appointment, you MUST notify my office to cancel or reschedule the appointment within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time. Failure to adhere to this 24-hour cancellation policy will result in a fee. Missed appointment charges will automatically be charged to your card unless other arrangements are made.
Insurance FAQ:
Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.
I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
- Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
- Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
- The therapist I have chosen is out-of-network and I can provide a superbill for reimbursement, how much will you reimburse me for X amount of the bill?
- Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
- Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
