Insurance

Better Being Psychology Group does not accept insurance. We believe that we can offer our clients more flexibility with appointments and increased privacy. This also enables us to work directly for you and not the insurance company.

Some insurance companies and plans do allow for reimbursement of out of network providers or for the cost of your sessions to go toward your deductible. We encourage you to call you insurance company or use the benefit checker below to further understand your specific benefits. We will gladly provide you with a receipt of services and payments that will include all information required by the insurance companies for you to submit at your convivence. Psychotherapy is an allowable expense for your Health Spending or Flexible Spending Accounts as well.

As an additional resource, Better Being Psychology Group partners with Thrizer which is a platform that assists clients by submitting out-of-network claims on their behalf. If your plan covers out of network providers, with your authorization, Thrizer will work directly with me and your insurance company to help streamline the reimbursement process for you.

No Surprises Act

STANDARD NOTICE

“Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges” Under the No Surprises Act

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

You will receive your Good Faith Estimate as part of your initial paperwork and any time it needs to be updated

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 860.431.0622.
