INSURANCE INFORMATION
Out of Network (OON)
I provide superbills for clients seeking to utilize their out-of-network benefits. Please be aware that reimbursement is not guaranteed by the clinician. I encourage you to contact your insurance company to discuss the services that are covered for reimbursement.​
OON benefits are not accepted for any treatment/ Diagnosis that do not meet a medical necessity outlined by Insurance.
SEX THERAPY
If you meet the criteria for a Sexual Dysfunction as defined in the DSM-5, this information will be noted on your super bill. However, please be aware that this does not guarantee reimbursement when utilizing out-of-network benefits. We recommend that you confirm with your insurance company regarding their coverage for Sexual Dysfunctions.
COUPLES THERAPY IS NOT REIMBURSABLE
Typically, these services are not eligible for reimbursement as therapeutic services. Insurance policies generally provide coverage only for individuals who support the "identified patient" in addressing their mental health condition, commonly referred to as family therapy. In this context, the partner(s) are present to assist in achieving the goals set by the "identified patient." It is important to differentiate this from couples therapy, which is designed for all individuals in the relationship to work collaboratively toward shared objectives. Misuse of billing codes in this manner can be considered fraudulent, and I will not engage in such practices.
Please be cautious when an insurance provider states that they cover couples counseling, as this can often be misleading. Typically, this coverage does not pertain to couples therapy or marriage counseling. Instead, it usually refers to a procedural code that allows for a spouse to be present during therapy sessions.
​
CONFIDENTIALITY
When utilizing insurance services, clients may need to forfeit a degree of their confidentiality, as insurance companies possess the authority to review clinicians' notes. Consequently, these notes, which may contain highly personal and sensitive information, become accessible to insurers. Additionally, the information required for audits is often transmitted via fax, potentially allowing for unauthorized access. As a clinician, I am committed to safeguarding all clients' HIPAA rights; however, the use of insurance limits my ability to guarantee complete confidentiality.
MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS BECOMES A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION
In order to receive reimbursement from insurance, it is necessary to have a mental health diagnosis, which will become part of your medical records. This diagnosis is classified as a pre-existing condition, which can pose challenges if you are pursuing a career requiring a high security clearance, such as those in government roles. Research indicates that many employers may disqualify applicants who are perceived as "unstable.
​
COACHING
Coaching is not classified as a medically necessary service. Clients participating in coaching typically function well in their daily lives and seek to further enhance their overall performance. It is important to note that coaching is not covered by insurance and does not address medical symptoms or provide diagnoses. Instead, coaching serves as a supportive resource for individuals aiming to achieve specific goals they may find challenging to reach independently.
I welcome diversity including all body sizes, abilities, races, sexualities, genders, religions and political values.
