WILL MY HEALTH INSURANCE COVER THERAPY?
Beyond Therapy is a majority private pay therapy service. We do, however accept HSA/ FSA as payment. In addition any BCBS coverage is accepted as well. Aetna, Montain Helath Co-op, Tricare and out of network Cigna are also accepted. I am also happy to provide you with a statement of services to provide to your insurance company to request reimbursement.
HOW LONG WILL THE PROCESS TAKE?
Therapy is a process. We never know how long it will take. However, we will work together to determine your needs and develop a treatment plan that fits. We want to empower clients to create a life worth living beyond therapy, providing them with tools and skills to use forever, not just right now.
WHAT IS A BENIFIT FROM NOT USING INSURANCE?
The current system with insurance companies requires your therapist to give you a mental health diagnosis in order for them to cover the cost of your therapy. Such a diagnosis would then become a part of your permanent record with that insurance company, and may follow you for the rest of your life. Potentially creating difficulties in receiving future care or coverage for services. Billing an insurance company also requires your therapist to provide details about our work together to an employee or group of employees at the insurance company, who would then have a role in making decisions about your case (e.g., advising what kind of treatment we should provide, how long you should be allowed to come for therapy, etc.). Decisions about our work together should be made by you with you having sole control of your care. Though we are willing to collaborate and advocate for care with your insurance company if it is one of our accepted options.
