SUPERBILLS

I offer superbills as an out-of-network provider. Not familiar with Superbills? you can learn more about Superbills here or here. Also, make sure you find out your health insurance's requirements and coverage.

When you request a Superbill, I will provide you with a document you can submit to your health insurance in order to claim reimbursement for mental health services. It is important that you are aware of the following:

- The therapist is not responsible for processing claims. You are solely responsible for paying the therapist your fee at the beginning of each session, for contacting your health insurance about out-of-network plan coverage and eligibility, and for submitting the claim. 

- A mental health disorder diagnosis is part of the required information for a superbill, this diagnosis is part of your medical record.  The clinical diagnosis is based on your current symptoms, all previous diagnoses are based on your symptoms at that time.  We will discuss your diagnosis during sessions.  

- Insurance companies require clinicians to give a mental health diagnosis (i.e., “major depression” or “obsessive-compulsive disorder”) for reimbursement. By submitting a superbill claim to your insurance company/provider, you will be informing them of your diagnosis, and the times and dates of services provided.  They may request further information to authorize additional services regarding treatment.  

- IMPORTANT: Some psychiatric diagnoses are not eligible for reimbursement (ie: marriage/couples therapy).  In the event of non-coverage or denial of payment, you will be responsible to pay for services provided.
