Payment Policies

CLIENTS WITH TRICARE MILITARY INSURANCE

Our office is in-network with Tricare West military insurance, meaning that services provided to active-duty and retired service members, veterans and their families are covered and billed directly to Tricare.

Some Tricare plans include a co-payment that the client is responsible for paying at each appointment. Some plans also include an annual deductible of up to $300, meaning that clients must pay the full cost of any services they receive at the start of their new health insurance year up until the deductible is met. Once the deductible amount has been satisfied, Tricare will cover the cost of services for the rest of the year.

We will help verify your Tricare insurance benefits prior to the first appointment.

ALL OTHER (NON-MILITARY) CLIENTS

We are out-of-network with all insurance plans except Tricare military insurance. This means that clients are responsible for payment of fees at the time of the appointment. Clients whose insurance plans include out-of-network mental health benefits may be eligible for partial or full reimbursement of any fees paid to us. We do our best to help our clients optimize their benefits by offering electronic claim submission after each appointment. This saves our clients the hassle of having to submit forms and invoices to their insurance company, and leads to faster processing and reimbursement. Most clients with out-of-network benefits will typically receive a check from their insurance company within two weeks of their appointment.

To Check Your Out-of-Network Benefits:

Call the phone number on the back of your insurance card and ask the following questions:

Does my plan offer out-of-network benefits for mental health services?
If so, what is my plan’s maximum allowable amount for service code 90837 with a Psychologist?
What percentage of the maximum allowable amount does insurance cover?
How much would I be reimbursed?
Do I have a deductible for out-of-network services that I will have to pay before insurance starts reimbursing me?
If so, how much remains on the deductible?
