Insurance & Therapy
While in my practice I may create a medical diagnosis, I prefer to review patterns of relations and try to manage them with tools, skills and new perspectives. There are important factors to know when billing insurance. Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis that stays on your permanent health record in order to receive counseling. They typically dictate how many sessions you may receive and the type of therapy you are permitted to engage in. I believe this should be decided privately between you and your clinician/therapist (me), though understand the desire to use insurance to cover cost of services.

If you would like to use your insurance and I am not on the unique insurance board, you may utilize Out of Network coverage. This means that if a diagnosis is founded and directly being addressed in counseling, Mindmarrow Counseling, PLLC can provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions to your insurance company:
- Do I have mental health benefits for individual, couple or family counseling?
- How many sessions are covered?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- Are sessions covered with a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)?
Good Faith Estimate
The No Surprises Act went into effect in January of 2022. It aims to increase price transparency among health care services and to reduce the likelihood that clients receive a “surprise” medical bill. This act requires providers to inform clients of an expected charge for a service before the service is provided. Due to this, I am required by law to inform you of your rights regarding Good Faith Estimates for the cost of receiving mental health services.
At any time, you have the right to ask me or any health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. In a Good Faith Estimate, you will receive an estimate of services (type of service/estimate of frequency) and estimated costs for those services for a 12 month period. Furthermore, you will receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your scheduled medical service or item when scheduled three days in advance and at least 3 business days prior to your appointment when scheduled 10 days in advance. This estimate is not a contract, nor are you required to obtain the services that are listed. You are free to discontinue services at any point in time or request a referral for another provider.
Good Faith Estimate & Psychotherapy
Due to the unique nature of psychotherapy, it is impossible to predict the exact length of time for treatment. Each individual, couple and family come with distinctive circumstances that can elongate or shorten the process. For this reason, the fees charged at Mindmarrow Counseling are transparent and predictable. You will obtain a ‘Financial Statement and Considerations’ document which is to be signed before obtaining services and we will discuss fees and policies during our first session. With this information, you can clearly and confidently anticipate the cost associated with receiving counseling.
