Payment

We are in-network with Carefirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, including Blue Choice plans. Once an appointment has been scheduled, our office will be able to verify your benefits and patient responsibility and submit claims on your behalf. However, we encourage you to contact your plan directly to inquire about your mental health benefits.

We are also considered an out-of-network provider. This means that it is possible that our services may still qualify for reimbursement even if you are not a member with Blue Cross Blue Shield.

We have partnered with Reimbursify for you to easily submit your claims for out-of-network health insurance reimbursement from your smartphone.  Download the app and get your first claim free.

Or, you can directly submit your out-of-network claims by going here. 

​

You can also determine if you are eligible for reimbursement by calling your insurance provider directly and inquire about out-of-network mental health benefits. You may want to ask the following questions:

​

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

• Do I have an out-of-network deductible and if so, has it been met?

• Once I meet my out-of-network deductible, what percentage of the fee will my insurance reimburse?

• Is there a limit my insurance will pay for a therapy session (service code 90837)?

• Is precertification required?

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. 

​

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 

​

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. 

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. 

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

​

We ask that you notify your therapist at least 24 hours in advance of your session if you need to cancel. If you are unable to cancel within 24 hours, the full fee will be charged, unless you are able to reschedule for another time the same week.
