"What if I'm covered by another insurance company?"
If you have a PPO plan, it's worth calling your insurer to see whether you are eligible for full or partial reimbursement. When calling your company, talk to a benefits specialist and let them know you are interested in working with an "out-of-network provider."
The following questions are a good place to start:
-
Does my plan cover some portion of services with licensed, out-of-network providers?
-
What is my deductible and has it been met?
-
How many sessions per year does my mental/behavioral health insurance cover?
-
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
-
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Please call me if you are interested in learning more about using your PPO plan to pay for my services;
I'd be happy to explain more fully how that works.
