If you have a PPO, I can offer to submit the claim, called a Superbill, to your insurance so they can reimburse you (after you pay out of pocket for the service); depending on your out-of-network benefits.

To find more about your Out-of-Network benefits, I recommend asking your insurance the following questions:

  1. What are my out-of-network benefits?

  2. What percentage of my outpatient, psychotherapy sessions are reimbursed?

  3. Do I need an authorization number to activate behavioral health benefits?

  4. How many outpatient, psychotherapy sessions am I allowed a calendar year?

  5. When does your calendar year start?

  6. What is my deductible? Do I have to meet the deductible before being able to get reimbursed?

  7. Where can I find the claim form I will need to submit? How long is the process of approval/payment once you receive the claim?

  8. What is the mailing address and FAX # to send behavioral health claims?
