Billing & Insurance

Are you looking for ways to ensure the best outcome for your counseling therapy experience?

We've partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits. They help clients use their out-of-network benefits to save money on therapy. Use this tool below to see if you qualify for reimbursement for my services.

Mentaya is perfect if you:

  • Have out-of-network benefits.

  • Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance.

  • Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement.

  • Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!

Here's how it works:

  1. Sign up for Mentaya: https://mentaya.co/inviteclient/uktFsrveCKWD0eRLeKNm

  2. Our practice will enter your sessions into the platform.

  3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.

  4. You get reimbursed by insurance!

    Note: Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.

    It's risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.

Superbills and insurance can help make the process smoother and more efficient. 

A superbill is a form given to you after a counseling session. It accurately records all of the services provided and summarizes the applicable billing codes for insurance reimbursement. Superbills are essential for therapists that accept insurance, as they provide the necessary information for submitting claims to insurance companies. 

When it comes to insurance, there are many different plans that may cover counseling therapy services. However, it is important to be aware that coverage varies by provider, plan, and state. Make sure to understand the coverage policy of your particular insurance plan, as this will determine the services that can be billed and the amount that will be paid. 

It is also important to understand the billing process for insurance claims. Typically, claims are submitted to the insurance company and are then processed. If the claim is accepted, the insurance company will pay the therapist directly. However, if the claim is denied, you are responsible for the payment. 

By understanding superbills and insurance coverage, you can ensure that you receive the care and compensation you deserve. This knowledge can help make the process of receiving counseling therapy easier, more efficient, and more effective.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

As of January 1, 2022, all therapists are required to post this notice.

Notice to current and prospective clients

  • Under the new federal No Surprises Act, health care providers need to give clients who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy.

  • You can ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before your first session, or at any time during treatment.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. So you might want to save a copy or photo of your Good Faith Estimate if you get one.

  • For more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate or www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
