Paying for Services

  • In-network insurances

    In-network insurances generally include Premera, Regence, BCBS, HMA, and Lifewise.

    Please contact your insurance provider to ensure that your specific plan is in-network and that telehealth is covered. Some out-of-state insurance plans may not cover telehealth or could have other exclusions, so it is always best to confirm your benefits and in-network status with your insurance company before starting therapy.

  • Out-of-network insurances

    Clients who are out-of-network insurances may be able to still use their insurance to pay for therapy. Insurance plans often have benefits for seeing out-of-network (OON) providers. The amount of coverage varies with the plan. Call your insurance company and ask them how you can use your OON benefits. They may require pre-authorization.

    Clients who pay for services up front may be able to obtain reimbursement for some or all of the cost of services, depending on their insurance plan’s benefits (reimbursement is not guaranteed; ask your insurance provider). Clients who use this option may receive a “super bill” document (a kind of receipt) to seek reimbursement.

    If this process sounds daunting (as insurance matters can be!), clients are encouraged to try Reimbursify. Reimbursify can help take the stress out of wrangling insurance.

  • Cash for services

    Clients may also elect to pay out-of-pocket and not use their insurance if they wish.

    This option may be preferred by clients who don’t want insurance involved with their care or want greater privacy. Insurance companies only know that clients are receiving therapy and/or have a diagnosis if the insurance is paying for services.

    Further, while notes are kept as minimal as reasonably possible (while still adhering to required standards), chart notes for sessions paid for by insurance can be audited by the insurance company.

    If you are wanting to pay for services out-of-pocket but have need that can be demonstrated, please communicate this. There may be some limited ability to offer sliding scale for some clients who do have financial need (e.g., maximum discount up to $85 per 90837 53+ minute hour for a PhD level clinician).

    Notice: Per the No Surprises Act, you have a right to a good faith estimate of what your services might cost if you are paying out-of-pocket.

  • *A practicum student is not currently available for the 2023-2024 academic year.

    Note: Services rendered by a practicum student are not billed to insurance or reimbursable by insurance; the trainee is a student and not a licensed clinician. Neither in-network nor out-of-network insurances will be billed for these services. Potential clients understand that by utilizing these reduced cost services, they will be working with a practicum student who is providing services at a reduced rate as part of their training process to eventually become a licensed clinician when they are done with school. Practicum students are directly supervised by a licensed psychologist (a PhD) and client details will be discussed with the supervisor to ensure adequate care of clients and a good training experience for the trainee. The supervisor will also, periodically and with prior notice, shadow the practicum student for quality control as part of the student’s training and evaluation. The supervisor will also help practicum students select which clients may be an appropriate fit and potential clients understand that not all potential clients will be a good fit for the level of care that a student may be able to provide. For clients who may not be a good fit, referral information for community resources will be provided. Neither the student nor the supervisor can guarantee the quality of services or availability for scheduling at another agency.
