Out of Network Provider
Like most specialty providers, Aware Psychology & Wellness is not “in network” with any insurance carriers and works as an "out of network" provider.
There are a few reasons for this:
First, this allows you excellent, individualized care as a client. Working with insurance companies requires clinicians to carry large caseloads, which contributes to clinician burnout and lower quality of care for clients.
Secondly, it protects your confidential health information. Insurance companies require clinicians to provide information about your care in order to provide coverage of sessions. This could mean that the diagnoses given could become pre-existing conditions in your medical record.
Lastly, working from this model allows us to collaboratively create a treatment plan based on your needs versus what your insurance company considers to be the prescribed care based on specific diagnoses.
If you have out of network benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance. Clients are often substantially reimbursed through out of network benefits.
A receipt of services, known as a “super-bill”, will be provided to you at the end of each month. You can submit the super-bill to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
Aware Psychology & Wellness requires that you keep a current, active credit card on file to cover the cost of each session. Your credit card will be charged after the appointment. You may also use your HSA or FSA card instead of your credit card.
Reduced rate slots are available based on need, please reach out to inquire
When calling your insurance provider, ask the following questions:
Do I have out of network benefits?
If so, what is my out of network deductible?
How much of my out of network deductible has been met this year?
Will I be reimbursed for a dollar amount or percentage?
Once I have met that deductible, what dollar amount/percentage will be reimbursed for a 45 minute psychotherapy session and 60 minute psychotherapy session?
How much will I be reimbursed for a 45 minute psychotherapy session (CPT code: 90834)? How much will I be reimbursed for a 60 minute psychotherapy session (CPT code: 90837)?
How do I submit “super-bills” for reimbursement?
How long does it take for me to receive reimbursement?
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the No Surprises Help Desk at 1-800-985-3059.
