Understanding Your Insurance Options: Choosing the Right Path for Your Care
We believe that navigating healthcare should be completely transparent. To accommodate the diverse financial and privacy needs of the Johnson County community, our practice offers two distinct paths for utilizing your insurance benefits.
Option 1: In-Network Care (Direct Insurance Billing)
We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Centrus Health Direct, Centivo, Luminare Health. If you choose to use your in-network benefits, we will bill your insurance provider directly for your covered outpatient services.
How This Impacts Your Care:
The Financial Impact: Your direct out-of-pocket cost is typically limited to your plan's designated copay, coinsurance, or deductible amount. This makes care highly accessible and budget-friendly.
The Diagnostic Impact: To approve coverage, your insurance company mandates that you be given a formal mental health diagnosis (such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or Major Depressive Disorder). This diagnosis is explicitly submitted on every billing claim and becomes a permanent part of your medical record.
The Treatment Impact: Insurance adjusters can dictate the scope of your care, including the specific types of therapy allowed, the length of your sessions, and the total number of visits they deem "medically necessary."
Please Note: Most health insurance plans do not cover couples counseling or marital therapy, as they do not view relationship growth as a medical necessity. If you are seeking couples work, it will likely fall under Option 2.
Option 2: Out-of-Network (OON) Care (Private-Pay)
If you are covered by an insurance provider we are not paired with, or if you simply prefer maximum privacy, you can choose to navigate care outside of the managed care network.
How This Impacts Your Care:
The Financial Impact: You pay our standard clinical fee at the time of your session using your credit, debit, HSA, or FSA card. Upon request, we will provide you with a monthly Superbill (a detailed clinical receipt). You can submit this document directly to your insurance company to request direct out-of-network reimbursement. Many PPO plans will reimburse you for 50% to 80% of the cost.
The Privacy Impact: By choosing the out-of-network private-pay route, your clinical data, session notes, and treatment themes remain completely confidential between you and your therapist. No automated data is shared with insurance databases.
The Autonomy Impact: You and your therapist retain absolute control over your healing journey. Your care is determined entirely by your real-world progress and clinical goals—not by an insurance company's corporate algorithm or session limits.
Tip: We highly recommend calling the number on the back of your insurance card prior to your first appointment and asking: "What are my out-of-network outpatient behavioral health benefits?"
Cancellation & Scheduling Policies
When you book an appointment at our practice, that clinical hour is reserved exclusively for you, your partner, or your family. We do not double-book or overlap client slots. Because that time is dedicated entirely to your care, we require a minimum of 24 hours' notice for any cancellations or schedule modifications.
Late Cancellations & No-Shows: Appointments cancelled, rescheduled, or missed with less than 24 hours' notice will be automatically charged the full standard session fee to the credit card on file.
Insurance Coverage Limits: Please note that health insurance companies do not reimburse for missed or late-cancelled appointments. If you are using in-network benefits, you will be responsible for the full session rate rather than just your standard copay.
Emergency Exceptions: We completely understand that sudden illness, medical emergencies, or severe local weather hazards occur. In these rare, unavoidable instances, the cancellation fee may be waived at our clinical discretion.
