Out-of-network benefits

For all other insurances, you may have out-of-network benefits, which means that insurance will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost, often 50% or more for each session. For client’s interested in streamlined out-of-network reimbursement, I use Thrizer to verify your out-of-network benefits and submit superbills for you. Thrizer manages the reimbursement process end-to-end. If you are interested, you can learn more about how it works here: www.thrizer.com.

Out-of-network payment payment options

Thrizer Pay: With Thrizer Pay, you only cover a co-insurance amount for sessions, based on your out-of-network benefits, after you’ve met your deductible. This means you avoid paying the full session rate upfront and waiting for reimbursement. This option is available once your deductible is met, and a 5% fee applies. Unfortunately, BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) insurance plans are not currently eligible for Thrizer Pay.

OON Pay: With OON Pay, you pay the full session fee in full at the time of service, and after a claim is submitted, wait for reimbursement (usually sent to you as a check) from your insurance. Thrizer will automatically submit an out-of-network claim on your behalf after each session if you choose to use this service. Alternatively, you can choose to submit a claim and Superbill directly to your insurance using your insurance carrier’s claim submission system.

Self Pay: With Self Pay, you pay for sessions in full at the time of service, without submitting any claims to your insurance. This option is ideal if you do not have out-of-network benefits or if you prefer not to use your insurance.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
