Contact your insurance carrier to determine if you have mental health coverage
Here's some questions you can ask your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
​
-
Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
-
What are my in-network mental health benefits?
-
Do I have a deductible? How much of that deductible have I already met?
-
Do I have a copay or coinsurance? What is it?
-
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
-
How many therapy sessions does my plan cover?
-
Do I need authorization or is approval required from my primary care physician?
Payment Information
​
Payment is due at the time of service and can be made by cash, check, health savings (HSA), or credit card. I use Square and IVY PAY to process credit cards (both are HIPAA compliant). If you choose to use IVY PAY, I will text you a link where you will enter your credit/debit card information; we can use this method to pay future invoices.
​
I will file the claim with your insurance company; however, you are responsible for the co-pay/co-insurance fees. Additionally, you are required to pay for the entire session if your deductible has not been met. Please contact your insurance company in advance so you will know your financial responsibility prior to starting therapy. If you chose to use your insurance, please bring your card with you to your first appointment; a copy of your card will be kept in my records.
​
At the time of your first appointment, my privacy practices, informed consent to treat and other financial agreements/expectations will be discussed. You are welcome to request a copy of this material
​
What is your Cancellation Policy?
If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. Otherwise, you will be charged the full rate of the session excluding medical emergencies and extreme weather-related concerns.
What is my account balance?
Please contact me regarding any billing questions at 217-223-4673 or 223hope@gmail.com and I will provide you with invoices and/or account statements.
