RATES & INSURANCE

 

Julia Sandhaus, M.S., L.P.C. is a preferred provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield.  If you have BCBS, you are responsible for paying your co-payment at the time of your session. With your permission, we will file your claim with them.

If you have another insurance provider, we will provide you with the appropriated documentation needed to file your own claim. If you have a deductible, you will be responsible for the entire fee until your deductible is met.

 

Notice: If your insurance provider denies reimbursement for any reason, you will be responsible for paying your counseling fees.

​

Pre-authorization is sometimes required before a provider will pay for counseling services. To determine if you have mental health coverage through your insurance carrier, the first thing you should do is call them.  Check your coverage carefully and make sure you understand their answer. Some helpful questions you can ask them:

 

• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

• How much does my insurance pay for an out-of-network provider?

• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

 

CANCELLATION POLICY

If you  do not show up for your sheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.
