INSURANCE and Out of network benefits
While paying out of pocket has some benefits, it is also not an accessible option for everyone. If you have insurance other than OHP and would like to use your out of network benefits, I would be happy to provide you with superbills that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
I recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider prior to your first session to help determine your benefits:
Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
What are my out-of-network mental health benefits?
Do I have a deductible that applies to mental health services? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for mental health services to be covered?
Does my plan cover telehealth?
What CPT codes does my plan cover?
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
— Rumi
