Insurance 
We are out of network providers which means that we are not directly contracted with any particular insurance company. However, many insurance plans do have out of network benefits and clients are often able to get partial reimbursement for services. This means that fees are expected to be paid in full to your provider at the time of service and then we can provide you with a superbill so you may submit to your insurance company for potential partial reimbursement based on your individual out of network insurance coverage. We encourage you to contact your insurance company (800 number on the back of your insurance card) and ask the following questions:

  • Do I have out of network mental health insurance benefits?

  • What is my deductible and has it been met?

  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

We are happy to assist you with understanding your out of network benefits. We are also happy to provide a good faith estimate of services prior to you beginning counseling services with us.

Payment 
Cash, Check, HSA, Visa, MC, Discover are accepted for payment. 

Cancellation Policy 
If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay a full session fee no show/late cancellation fee.

No Surprises Act

YOUR RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS AGAINST SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS

(OMB Control Number: 0938-1401)

When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.
What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)?

When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs,  such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.

“Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that haven’t signed a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit.

“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care - like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider.

You are protected from balance billing for:

  • Emergency services

If you have an emergency medical condition and get emergency services from an out-of-network provider or facility, the most the provider or facility may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount (such as copayments and coinsurance). You can’t be balance billed for these emergency services. This includes services you may get after you’re in stable  condition, unless you give written consent and give up your protections not to be balanced billed for these post-stabilization services.

Additionally, Arizona law protects patients from surprise medical bills for: (i) emergency services and health care services directly related to the emergency services provided during an inpatient admission by an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility; and (ii) non-emergency health care services provided by an out-of-network provider, at an in-network facility, if the out-of-network provider did not provide the patient/patient’s authorized representative a written disclosure prior to the health care service or the patient/patient’s representative chose not to sign the referenced disclosure. The law applies to patients with coverage through a disability insurer, group disability insurer, blanket disability insurer, hospital service corporation or medical service corporation that provides health insurance in Arizona. This law does not apply to any health plans that do not include coverage for out-of-network health care services.

  • Certain services at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center

When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia ,pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections  not to be balance billed.

If you get other services at these in-network facilities, out-of-network providers can’t balance  bill you unless you give written consent and give up your protections.

You’re never required to give up your protection from balance billing. You also aren’t required to get care out-of-network. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network.

Additionally, Arizona law also prohibits hospitals or providers from charging patients with coverage through a health maintenance organization (“HMO”), more than the amount a hospital or provider agreed to accept from the HMO.

 When balance billing isn’t allowed, you also have the following protections:

You are only responsible for paying your share of the cost (like the copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that you would pay if the provider or facility was in-network). Your health plan will pay out-of-network providers and facilities directly.

Your health plan generally must:

  • Cover emergency services without requiring you to get approval for services in advance (prior authorization).

  • Cover emergency services by out-of-network providers.

  • Base what you owe the provider or facility (cost-sharing) on what it would pay an in-network provider or facility and show that amount in your explanation of benefits.

  • Count any amount you pay for emergency services or out-of-network services toward your deductible and out-of-pocket limit
