I'm an Aquarius. Shocker, right?
I stopped wearing real pants in 2020 and never looked back! During COVID, I realized how much I enjoyed the freedom and comfort that working remotely offers me — and my clients!
I am credentialed with multiple insurance carriers with more in the works. Visit my What to Expect in Therapy page to check out the list.
If a therapist is out of network, they are not connected to your insurance carrier. That means treatment and sessions may not be covered by insurance. The therapist won’t submit for payment to your insurance company. Instead, you can request to be reimbursed by your insurance company for a part of your costs.
A superbill is your key to doing this. A superbill is a detailed invoice outlining the services a client received. Therapists may need to generate a superbill when they are not on a client’s insurance company’s panel. The client submits the superbill directly to the insurer, giving the insurer all the information they need to pay the claim. Typically, superbills are provided to clients and insurance companies that are out of network.
You can contact your insurance provider to learn if you have out-of-network benefits. Medicare recipients do not have out-of-network benefits. It is important to know what your benefits are before beginning treatment. Also, ask if you’ll need prior authorization for out-of-network services. If your insurance provider confirms that you have out-of-network benefits, you may be reimbursed for some of the costs you paid out of pocket.
I generally follow-up with folks within 48 hours, excluding weekends. However, it is usually much quicker than that, especially if I am putting off paperwork. I respond quickest when contacted by email or message. It takes me a little longer to return phone calls.
I don't provide any written letters, complete paperwork or work in any capacity with cases involving open legal matters. It's not my jam and there are other Clinicians who specialize in those difficult-to-navigate situations.
I have not ventured into the world of Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters and do not see myself doing so in the foreseeable future. As with any services I provide, I want to ensure that I am properly trained and can confidently meet the requirements.
