Insurance

I am in-network with the Duke Student Blue Cross Blue Shield plan. I am out of network for all other insurance plans.

All fees are due in full at the time of service, and all clients receive monthly receipt (“superbill”) that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. The superbill will have all of the pertinent diagnostic and procedural codes that you’ll need so that you can submit it to your insurance carrier. There are even a few apps out there — like Reimbursify — which allow you to simply upload your superbill through their app and get reimbursed (for a small fee).

If you need to use an out of network plan, you will want to call your insurance company to ask:

• Do I have mental/behavioral health insurance benefits?
• What is my out of network, mental health benefit reimbursement rate? (90837 is the CPT code for 55 minute outpatient psychotherapy sessions.)
• Do I have a deductible, and has it been met?

‘Good faith estimate of charges’

As required by the ‘No Surprises Act’ of 2020, all mental health providers are required to ask about client’s insurance coverage (including whether clients intend to submit claims to their insurance company) and to provide a ‘Good Faith Estimate for Heath Care Items and Services’ to all self-pay or uninsured clients when care is scheduled, and/or when requested by the client. I will provide this estimate to all self-pay and uninsured clients at the beginning of treatment and annually thereafter. A Good Faith Estimate is not necessary at this time for clients who are planning to use their insurance benefits to cover their services, but all clients have a right to request a Good Faith Estimate at any time.
