This simply means that my office does not bill the insurance companies directly. Blue Cross Blue Shield does not require a prior authorization for services and will work with you to easily get reimbursed.
For all other insurance companies you must call prior to therapy and get authorization. After sessions I can provide you with an itemized invoice with the correct coding required for reimbursement.

Why Consider Paying Fees Privately or Out of Pocket?
Many clients choose to not involve insurance companies for counseling services. Out of pocket therapy sessions do not limit you to a diagnosis, treatment plan or a set number of sessions. It is important to note that many plans do not cover individual, couples/relational or family therapy. A diagnosis is needed if you use insurance. This becomes a part of your permanent health record. Insurance companies have full right to all your records. My goal is to help clients get to the root cause of your problems without giving a clinical diagnosis.
I will work collaboratively with you as a team to decide how often you should attend therapy, not the insurance companies. The final advantage relates to session availability. A person seeking counseling is ready now to work on the issue at hand. Private Pay has the flexibility to get you in to see me much sooner.
