Navigating Your Insurance Carrier

Preparing for Out-of-Network Benefits

 

A detailed receipt of all payment and services called a “superbill” will be sent to you digitally via email every month. The superbill is designed for you to request insurance reimbursement from the insurer. Once you send the insurer the superbill, a determination is made by your insurance company about reimbursement and how benefits will be applied. As an out-of-network provider, you can check with your provider to see what their out-of-network benefits are for counseling and couples counseling services. Contact the number on the back of your insurance card to request this information. Be sure to specify what kind of services you are requesting because many providers will not cover couples counseling. If you’re checking with insurance, here are billing codes to ask about: 90791- 60 minute diagnostic assessment, 90847- 60 minute couples therapy session, 90837- 60 minute individual therapy session.
