Insurance information

How to use benefits

Frequently your insurance benefits may cover a portion of your sessions. If you are unfamiliar with your insurance benefit, call the number on your insurance card to inquire about mental health coverage BEFORE your appointment.

We accept many major insurance plans. Please contact your insurance company to confirm we are in-network for you. If we are out-of-network, you may have a higher co-pay or deductible. Should your insurance coverage change during the course of your treatment, please notify us immediately. Failure to do so could result in you being responsible for covering administrative re-billing costs and/or the full cost of your session.

Unfortunately, we are not covered by CareSource/Medicaid, and some Medicare

plans.

PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT BILL SECONDARY INSURANCE! If you have secondary insurance, we will provide you with a Superbill to submit for reimbursement.

Insurance Companies accepted

*Again, please contact your insurance provider to make sure you have mental health benefits available, find out if you have a co-pay or if you need to meet a deductible.

Important Information Regarding EAP's

All clients are responsible for verifying their EAP (Employee Assistance Program) eligibility and ability to use it at our location.
Clients are responsible for notifying us of their EAP eligibility and providing authorization information BEFORE their initial appointment. This is necessary for billing purposes.
Due to the high demand for EAP services, we will accept ONE round of EAP sessions, per client, per year. If a client's EAP provider issues additional sessions, and the client wishes to utilize these benefits, they will need to seek out a new provider.
Canceled EAP appointments count toward your total allotted number of EAP sessions. Please be mindful of this when scheduling.
We do our best to work with EAP providers. Failure to provide accurate information, willful or not, could result in an insurance claim being filed on your behalf, or you being held financially responsible for the full cost of your session.

Late Cancellation Fees

If proper notice is not provided when canceling an appointment the following charges will be assessed on the day of your scheduled appointment:

First occurrence – Clients will be charged $75.00.

Each occurrence thereafter - Clients will be charged $125.00.

If you are using EAP services, you may also lose one of your approved sessions.
