Some. I am “in-network” with Highmark, Capitol Bule and Medicare. If you are a member of one of these plans, your copay and deductibles are set by your insurance company.
Yes, these benefits allow people to see any medical provider they wish but at a premium price. You can estimate how much therapy might cost by knowing the information below, which you can find by calling your insurance company.
Out-of-Network Variables (all of which get reset annually):
Deductible: the amount you pay before the insurance company starts to contribute.
"Allowed" amount: the cost of therapy that your insurance company uses to calculate your co-insurance.
Co-insurance: the percent of the "allowed" amount that you are responsible to pay plus whatever amount is more than the allowed amount. For example, let’s say that I charge $200 and the insurance company thinks I should charge $100. If your coinsurance is 20%, then you have to pay $20 + $100 = $120.
Out-of-Pocket Maximum : This is the total amount of money you spend in out-of-network expenses through deductible and coinsurance in a given year after which the insurance company covers 100% of the “Allowed” amount. You may still be responsible for any difference between my rate and the allowed amount.
The insurance company might ask you for the procedure codes I might use. Here is the list of possible codes:
90791: Intake / Evaluation
90837: Individual Psychotherapy
90846: Family Therapy without Patient
90847: Family Therapy with Patient
Depending on your insurance, I may be able to submit claims on your behalf at the end of every month. If I am not in network, I will ask your insurance company to mail you.
I will keep a credit card on file and charge the card after every session.
If you are unable to attend a session for any reason, please let me know at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment. You can let me know by phone, text, email or through the patient portal.
No shows and late cancellations will be charged a $50 fee. Exceptions to this may occur if you are ill or if there is an emergency.
You are able to switch from an in-person appointment to virtual.
