Private Pay and Superbills
Fresh Air Psychological Services can bill you directly for services rendered, a practice called "private pay." Private pay offers many advantages for mental health care needs. The biggest advantage is that an insurance company is not involved. Your insurer therefore cannot dictate whom you can see, how many sessions you are allowed, how frequently you can meet, and which diagnoses can be reimbursed. In fact, therapists who conduct private pay do not have to diagnose you at all, if a diagnosis is not necessary to organize your treatment. Insurance companies will require a diagnosis and specific treatment goals to be documented. This documentation demands additional paperwork, time, and attention by your therapist that could be offered to you, instead.
Private pay is also private, meaning that your sessions are discreet and no records will be shared with your insurance company. Your insurer will not know that you were receiving mental health care. Your therapist does not have to report anything about you or your treatment, within the bounds of the law. In most cases, such discretion means that your healthcare insurance premiums and life insurance policies won't have to go up in price.
If you would still prefer some assistance with payment for counseling, Fresh Air Psychological Services can send you a superbill, which is essentially a receipt for your services. After you have paid for the full cost of your services, you can submit the superbill to your insurance company for partial reimbursement. A superbill includes all of the information that the insurance company needs to process your reimbursement. Keep in mind that the insurance company can use its own rules governing payouts; not every superbill might receive full reimbursement, depending on the insurance company's calculations. Also keep in mind that, with a superbill, you can continue to see the same out-of-network provider, even if you change insurance companies.
