Out of network

I am an out of network provider for most major insurance carriers. Many insurance plans offer out of network mental health care benefits and will reimburse you for a percentage of the cost of our sessions. I will provide you with the necessary paperwork so that you can receive reimbursement for services, should you wish to do so. Here are some questions to ask your insurance company:

  • Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health coverage?

  • If so, what percentage is covered?

  • Is there a session limit, and if so, in what time period?

  • Do I have a deductible? What is it and how much of it have I met?

  • How do I submit a request for reimbursement?

  • What is the reimbursement for CPT code 90791? 90834? 90837?

in-network

I am an in network provider only for the following carve-out plans:

  • Mass General Brigham Health Partners (MGBHP) (MGB employees and dependents only). If you have MBGHP but are not subscribed to the MGB employee plan, I am an out of network provider for your policy.

  • UnitedHealthCare Student Resources (Boston College and Tufts University students only).

DISCLOSURES

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
