SOBRE NOSOTROS NUESTROS TERAPEUTAS For Patients Patient Portal Commmunity Event Calendar Check Your Insurance Coverage Reviews Blog Search Results File Share Booking Page Schedule a Virtual Appointment Members Close Self-Verifying Insurance Most health insurance plans include mental health and substance use treatment. Typically insurance cards limit information on them and don't include details about your benefits, copay or co-insurance amount, or if your mental healthcare is managed by a different company than the one showing on your card. Before you start, always confirm your coverage with your insurance provider before scheduling any appointments. This step ensures you won't face unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. How to verify your insurance benefits and eligbility 01 Prepare for the call 02 Contact Insurance Provider 03 Document and communicate details Steps to Self-Verify 01: Prepare for the Call Before calling your insurance provider, gather the necessary information to verify your benefits. The goal is to confirm whether your provider and the services they offer are covered under your plan. Check Network Status: You will want to ask if the provider is "in-network." Our group practice bills using the Tax IDs and NPIs of the licensed clinicians so please give us a call to receive the specific NPIs and Tax IDs that would correspond with the provider you have scheduled your appointment with. Prior Authorization: Determine if prior authorization is needed for services. If using EAP benefits: Have your authorization letter and number ready. If not using EAP benefits: Be prepared with the CPT codes for services – 90791 (initial evaluation), 90837 (60-minute session), and 90834 (45-50-minute session). 02: Contact Your Insurance Provider Find the "Member Services" or "Customer Service" number on your insurance card, usually on the back. Have the following information ready: Insurance ID number Your name, date of birth, and Social Security number For example, on a Cigna card, the customer service number is typically located at the bottom of the back side (#14 in the sample card image). Each plan has a unique layout, but you can generally use numbers labeled "Customer Service," "Member Service," or "Mental Health/Behavioral Health." 03: Document and Communicate Details Ask the following questions during your call and write down the responses, including the name of the representative and any reference numbers: What is my copay for routine services? (you can use the CPT codes if you want to be certain) What is my coinsurance percentage? How many therapy sessions are covered per year? Can you confirm if my provider is in-network? If the provider is not in-network. You can ask the following: Does my plan cover a portion of the cost before I meet my deductible? What does my plan cover after I meet my deductible? How much do I have left to reach my deductible?

SOBRE NOSOTROS NUESTROS TERAPEUTAS For Patients Patient Portal Commmunity Event Calendar Check Your Insurance Coverage Reviews Blog Search Results File Share Booking Page Schedule a Virtual Appointment Members Close Our Services Our Master's level therapists provide psychotherapy services within their scope of competency. For needs outside our scope, like Autism evaluations or ADHD medication, we’re happy to offer referrals to qualified professionals. Request information Biopsychosocial Assessment This is the first appointment with your therapist. Clients may decide to continue or be referred to another provider after the assessment. Your provider will gather your chief complaint, background information and discuss current symptoms to determine a diagnosis. This service may also include a treatment plan. Check-in Appointment A shorter, check-in or “booster” appointment for clients who do not require longer, weekly sessions. You would have an assigned therapist, but you may or may not be scheduled for weekly sessions based on your needs. Current clients who meet regularly can also request a "check-in" appointment if they need to speak with their therapist for a non-urgent and non-crisis issue. Individual Session A standard, weekly therapy appointment, in which the length is determined by a client’s concerns and needs. Sessions may be 45 minutes, 50 minutes, or 60 minutes long. Your therapist will use the treatment plan that was collaboratively created to ensue that you are making progress towards your therapeutic goals. Screening and Diagnosis We provide administration of symptom screening surveys and subsequent analysis of results. This service includes clinical perspectives of symptoms and diagnosis. Based on provider and client preferences, this service may be part of already existing sessions. Please discuss with your therapist if you are interested. Couples Session For couples who would like a trained therapist to assist them in improving communication and relationship dynamics. A couples therapist may meet with each person individually and then together as couple. Frequency and duration may also vary due to each couple's needs. EAP Appointment EAP stands for Employee Assistance Program. Many employers offer a certain amount of sessions (5-10 usually) for their employees to use if they need to address issues that are affecting their work. These sessions are 45 minutes long and they do not require a biopsychosocial assessment. The therapist will collaborate with the client to determine their goals (which are typically associated with work) and then use solution focused therapy approaches to assist the client in achieving their goals.
