Check your insurance via Alma my billing portal

I accept United Health Care/Optum/UMR/Oscar, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma, and HealthChoice. This page will tell you what you need to know about your insurance. It's best to be familiar with your own plan, even if Alma my billing company gives you an estimate I would still call your insurance so no surprise costs, as Alma has made mistakes.
Insurance and Fees
My billing is managed through Alma and Headway (minus Blue Cross Blue Shield Oklahoma; I have to bill on my own). To use your insurance for therapy, you must have a mental health diagnosis as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5). We can discuss the list of billable psychological diagnoses during our first session. If your condition doesn't meet these criteria, private payment is an alternative.
Cost with insurance
The cost of your therapy sessions varies based on your insurance plan. If you have to meet your deductible first (half of clients, though, just have a copay), you'll be billed at the rate Alma has negotiated with your insurer. Generally, the first session is approximately $200, and follow-up sessions are around $150, though these are estimates and may vary. Alma will email you the exact rate for your plan. If you're unsure about your fee before the first session, please let me know.
After meeting your deductible, your payment will usually be a copay or coinsurance, typically ranging from $20 to $60 for mental health services. Yes, some insurances cover group therapy.
It's important to remember that some insurance plans require only a copay for mental health services even before you've met your deductible---so that's good news!!
Call to know your benefits - What to ask your insurance:
To find out about your mental health coverage with your insurance, you should start by contacting them. Here are the key questions to ask:
-
Do I need to meet my deductible before my benefits, like copay, apply to behavioral health services?
-
What is the amount of my deductible?
-
What is my copay for outpatient online therapy?
Choosing a counselor can be difficult, especially when considering the cost. That's why I intentionally keep my private pay fees more affordable. This is not a reflection of my experience but rather a conscious decision to make my services accessible to more people.
