I do not contract with any insurance companies and instead operate as a private pay and out-of-network practice only.
Benefits of using private pay & out of network services vs using insurance:
No Labeling - You don’t have to carry an unnecessary (and possibly inaccurate) diagnosis on your medical record just for the purpose of insurance reimbursement.
Confidentiality & Privacy - Unlike when utilizing insurance, your session notes, progress, and treatment plans are kept between you and your therapist only.
Self-Determination – We get to decide together what therapeutic techniques and time frames are right for you. Your progress and ability to have therapy appointments will never be hindered by what an insurance company thinks is best for you. You will not have to deal with session limits.
If a financial emergency arises and you are no longer able to afford services for a specific amount of time, you will likely be able to continue with therapy at a rate that works for you vs needing to pause services all together.
Checking your out-of-network benefits:
Sometimes, your insurance may cover out of network providers. You can typically find this information on your insurance portal, or by calling the benefits number listed on your insurance card. It’s recommended to ask what, if any, reimbursement you will receive for out-of-network mental health services. Information you may need to give your insurance company regarding services are listed below:
NPI for Jennifer Simmons: 1356838064
Tax Identification for Insight Psychology: 99-2458871
You are strongly encouraged to contact your insurance carrier to find out the benefits of your particular plan before your first appointment.
If you would like to submit a claim to insurance for possible reimbursement, I will provide you what is called a Superbill. You will use this to file your insurance claim. This will be provided to you monthly upon request.
