I am currently In-Network for most Aetna health plans.
For all other insurance plans, I am considered an Out of Network provider and do not bill insurance directly. You are responsible for full payment at the time of service.
I am happy to provide a Superbill with all information needed to utilize your Out-of-Network (OON) benefits should you wish to file with your insurance for partial reimbursement.

To find out more about your OON benefits, call the number on the back of your insurance ID card, or visit your insurance provider’s website to find answers to the following questions:
1. Does my plan cover telehealth?
Specifically, outpatient behavioral health via telehealth or location code -95.2. What is my out-of-network deductible?
This will let you know how much money you need to spend out-of-network before your benefits will kick in. I have seen plans have deductibles as low as $500 and as high as $3,000.3. How much of my out-of-network deductible has already been met?
Finding out how much you’ve already spent will let you know how much more you need to spend in order to meet your out-of-network deductible. For example, if your out-of-network deductible is $1,000 and you’ve already spent $850, you will only need to spend $150 more before your out-of-network benefits kick in.4.What is my policy period?
A “calendar year” policy starts on January 1 and ends on December 31. A “policy year” policy is a 12 month policy that will have a different start and end date, for example, August 1-July 31. It is important to determine your policy period when factoring in how much more time you have to meet your deductible.5.What is my coinsurance?
This is the percentage amount that your insurance company will reimburse you for each visit (after your out-of-network deductible is met). Let’s say your therapy visits are $175 per session and you have a 60% coinsurance. This means your insurance company will reimburse you for 60% of the session fee, which is $105. After reimbursement, you will only come out of pocket $70 per visit.6. How do I submit for reimbursement?
Typically, you will need to obtain a Superbill and submit it to your insurance company. A Superbill is a document I will provide to you that will include dates of service, a diagnosis code, a CPT code, and my NPI and EIN numbers. Insurance companies have different ways to submit the Superbill, typically through web upload, snail mail, or fax.7. How long do I have to submit my Superbill?
Ok, so this a bonus question. This is an important question to ask, too. There is a time period after the “date of service” to submit the Superbill to your insurance company for reimbursement. So far, I’ve seen this range from 90-180 days. Make sure you find out how much time you have to submit the Superbill after “the date of service” when calling your insurance company.All insurance plans are different. Have this list of questions handy when calling your insurance company to determine the specifics of your plan.
