I am an out-of-network provider. Many insurance companies will reimburse therapy costs and I can provide a super bill for you to submit to your insurance company. There are many companies (e.g. Thrizer, Mentaya, Reimbursify) that will help you organize these reimbursement processes for a small fee.
If you are considering any form of out-of-network therapy, it is helpful to call your insurance in advance to ask 1) if you have out-of-network benefits 2) if you have a deductible and 3) the maximum number of visits you can have per year. The procedure codes associated with therapy are 90834 (for individual psychotherapy) and 90846 or 90847 (for family or relational therapy).

You have the right to know what your care will cost before you begin.
Under federal law, providers must give a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges to clients who are uninsured or who choose not to use their insurance. This applies to therapy, and it is available to you at no cost.
What this means for you:
You can ask at any time. You can request an estimate before scheduling or at any point afterward. I’ll also offer one whenever you schedule an appointment.
You'll receive it in writing. If you schedule at least 10 business days ahead, we'll send your estimate within 3 business days of scheduling. If you schedule 3 to 9 business days ahead, I'll send it within 1 business day. If you ask for one before scheduling, I’ll send it within 3 business days.
It covers expected services. Your estimate will list the services we reasonably expect to provide and their expected charges. Collaborative Wayfinding's session fee is $150 for individual therapy and $175 for relationship therapy with some limited sliding scale options available.
It is not a contract. You are not required to receive services from us because you received an estimate.
You can dispute a much higher bill. If your final bill is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you can start a payment dispute process. You must do so within 120 calendar days of the date on the bill. Please save a copy of your estimate and your bill.
