What If I Don’t Have The Insurance You Accept? Can I Still Work With My Insurance?
I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
How Do I Discover What My Insurance Will Cover?
To find out what your insurance may cover, contact your insurance and ask if you have out-of-network mental health coverage. If you need to provide a “CPT code” or a “service code” you can provide the following codes:
- Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation - CPT 90791
- Psychotherapy 30 Min - CPT 90832
- Psychotherapy 45 Min - CPT 90834
- Psychotherapy 60 Min - CPT 90837
- Family Psychotherapy w/o Patient 50 Min - CPT 90846
- Family Psychotherapy w/ Patient 50 Min - CPT 90847
You may also want to mention the type of license that I have to ensure services with my type of credential are covered. I am a LCSW.
Other things you may want to ask about are:
- What your deductible is
- What your co-insurance payment will be
- How many visits you get per year
- If you need authorization for your visits
- Details on how to submit a superbill
Contact me if you would like more guidance on how to figure out what your insurance will cover.
What Is Your Cancellation Policy?
Cancellation Policy

Good Faith Estimate Notice
About Your Right To Receive A Good Faith Estimate Of Expected Charges
Under the law, as a healthcare provider, I will give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
This estimate is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and explains how much your Therapy services will cost. Here are a few key things you should know about your Good Faith Estimate:
- 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.
- You may ensure that I give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 3 business days before your Therapy services or item. You can also ask me for a Good Faith Estimate prior to scheduling.
- If you receive a bill that is $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- It's recommended that you save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
