Insurance

I know insurance can be confusing to work with. If you have any questions about using your insurance benefits for therapy, please reach out and I will do my best to support you.

In-Network Insurance

I am in-network with:

  • Premera

  • Most LifeWise, Anthem, and Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans (but I am not in-network with Regence plans)

This means that you pay me directly and you are only responsible to pay your copay, coinsurance, or deductible. Please contact your insurance company to confirm the details of your specific plan coverage.

Out-of-Network Insurance

If you have a different form of insurance than the ones listed above, your insurance may reimburse you for a portion of your fee with an out-of-network provider. I will not be able to bill them directly, but I can provide you with a monthly “superbill” to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. You will need to check directly with your insurance plan to confirm coverage.

I recommend asking the following questions:

  • Does my insurance plan cover out-of-network individual therapy?

    • The CPT codes you can ask about are 90791 (initial psychiatric evaluation) and 90837 (psychotherapy).

  • Will you cover services by an associate level clinician? (Note: some insurance plans will not cover services with associate providers, so make sure to ask this question)

    • You can tell them that I am a Licensed Social Work Associate - Independent Clinical.

  • What is my copay or what percentage ("co-insurance") do I pay for a mental health provider who is out-of-network?

  • Do I have a deductible? If I do, what is it and have I met it yet this year?

  • How many sessions does my plan cover in a year? How many sessions do I have left?

  • Do I need pre-authorization or a referral from my primary care provider for services to be covered?

  • What is the process to get reimbursed for out-of-network services?
