Insurance

I am not in network with any insurance company. Unfortunately, many insurance companies impose barriers to care, such as requiring pre-authorization for services or attempting to restrict services that they do not find “medically necessary.” This often means that they will demand more information in order to pay for care. They also require therapists to sign contracts that give the insurance company rights to therapy information and to terminate therapy if they see fit. In order to provide the best care I can, I have chosen not to agree to such terms.

Getting reimbursed

If you would like to have your insurance reimburse you for therapy, you can ask them the following questions:

• What is the reimbursement process if I see a therapist who is not in-network?

• Do I need pre-authorization to see a therapist?

• Do I have a deductible for outpatient, out-of-network mental/behavioral health services?

• After I meet my deductible, how much will I be reimbursed for an initial intake meeting (procedure code 90791) and psychotherapy (procedure codes 90837 or 90834) with a doctoral-level psychologist?

• Is there any additional authorization necessary for 90837 (hourlong therapy) vs. 90834 (45 minute therapy)?

• Are there limits to how many therapy sessions will be covered in a particular week or year?

• Are there differences for services provided in-person vs. via telehealth?
