How to Work With Insurance
1) Call your insurance provider. This number will be located on the back of your insurance card or on their website.
​
2) Clarify your benefits, deductible, and possible reimbursement. You can ask if your plan covers out-of-network outpatient psychiatrists, how many visits you are able to have, and if you have a deductible.
​
3) I will provide you a superbill summarizing all services used, including CPT codes (insurance billing codes). Depending on your plan, your insurance may reimburse you for out-of-network psychiatric services. You can clarify the expected amount of reimbursement prior to your first visit using the below common CPT codes and type of service used.
