Update Release to Bill Insurance Information Fees & Insurance Policy - Please Read and Accept our Terms Insurance We are private pay providers, and are not In-Network or contract with any insurance companies. Although we understand that for some billing insurance is necessary, we believe there are many benefits to not billing insurance. For example, most insurance companies want to dictate how counseling is to be conducted, and what types of counseling will be covered, often denying certain types of couple and family work, and requiring a diagnosis for reimbursement. We believe that counseling is more effective if it is controlled by the counselor and client, rather than being dictated by a third party. Another benefit to not taking insurance is we can spend more time providing care to the people we work with, instead of spending hours completing all the paperwork and figure out the requirements of each insurance company. **Out of Network Reimbursement Sometimes insurance companies reimburse for Out of Network Providers for some types of services. Because of this, we are happy to submit these claims for you, but do not tailor our work towards insurance companies and reimbursement for the cost of counseling. We often recommend people seek treatment with us if reimbursement is not necessary to cover the cost of treatment.

This is a special document that is like a statement, but includes our practice information, counselor information, appointment dates, as well as the diagnosis you were seen for. All of this information is needed by insurance companies to provide out of network reimburse.
