Out of Network Insurance & Fees
What does Out of Network Mean?
“Out-of-network” means that I am not directly contracted with insurance companies. However, many clients can still use their insurance benefits to get reimbursed for a portion of therapy costs.
Instead of paying a copay at each session, you pay my full session fee upfront. I then provide you with a superbill (a detailed receipt), which you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
Check out Mentaya's benefits checker below to help you assess your OON benefits. This is to act as a starting point and it is always recommended to follow-up with your insurance company.
Do I have OON Benefits?
Call your insurance provider and ask:
Do I have out-of-network mental health coverage?
What percentage is reimbursed after I meet my deductible?
What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much have I met so far?
Where/how do I submit superbills?
Explain reasoning for going OON to see an OCD/Anxiety specialist
How do I submit Superbills?
Most insurance companies now allow you to upload superbills through their member portal or app. Once submitted, they’ll review the claim and — if you have OON benefits —they'll send reimbursement directly to you.
Can I use my FSA or HSA card?
Yes! Therapy is an eligible expense, and I accept both HSA and FSA cards for payment.
What is a Superbill?
It is a detailed receipt that includes everything your insurance company needs:
My license and NPI number
Diagnosis code (required for reimbursement)
CPT code for each session
Dates and fees for services
Superbills are sent once per month (typically the first week of the following month). If you need one more frequently, just let me know.
