Insurance & Out-of-Pocket Billing

We offer several options for those who need to pay
for counseling services out-of-pocket.

You can:

  • Pay with cash, credit, or debit cards
  • Provide a superbill to your insurance company
  • Use Mentaya, a third-party service that helps eligible clients use their out-of-network benefits
  • Use an Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flex Spending Account (FSA) funds 

Are there any risks involved in using my insurance?

As noted, many insurance companies do not pay for counseling as they do not see relationship struggles as a medical problem.

And we agree – relationship issues are not medical problems. So they may not cover any part of your counseling.

Using your medical insurance for counseling has some risks involved to you though.

You see, in order to use your medical insurance, you must be given a mental disorder diagnosis which will now be listed on your medical records.

This may cause problems later when you might be asked “have you ever been diagnosed with a mental illness?” on a job application or when applying for health insurance or life insurance.

It is up to you but we wanted to make you aware of potential complications.

Paying out-of-pocket reduces this liability as no one will have access to your records unless required by law.

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.
