Inquire with your insurance provider

I recommend all clients call the number on the back of their insurance card and ask the following questions:

1.  Does my plan include “out-of-network” coverage for mental health?

2.  What is my annual deductible for mental health benefits?

3.  What is my co-insurance? (What percentage does the plan cover?)

4.  Is there a limit on the number of sessions my plan will cover per year?

Learn how to submit super bills

A super bill is a specific form that can be used to request reimbursement from your insurance. This can be auto-generated by my records system. I recommend contacting your insurance about the proper way to submit these bills for approval.

Use Mentaya

I also partner with Mentaya, a company that will advocate on your behalf to your insurance company to get you effective and expedited reimbursement for therapy appointments based on your out-of-network benefits (if your plan includes them).

Mentaya is perfect if you:

• Have out-of-network benefits
