In Network:

In-network rates depend on your unique insurance plan. Due to ambiguity related to coverage, this practice offers a free coverage check for potential clients, which will be discussed during the free consultation. This will help you to know what you’ll pay before you start.

On average, in-network clients’ copays fall in the range of $0.00 to $65.00 per session, which can increase depending on whether your “deductible applies” or not; this information will also be gathered during the free coverage report, so you’ll know your financial obligations before starting treatment.

This practice is credentialed with Blue Cross Blue Shield/Care First/Anthem plans and Tricare Select. 

If you are covered by Tricare, you will need authorization to see a civilian Tricare Select provider. Here is more information.

  • Payment and insurance claims will typically be processed under one person in a couple or family scenario. This is usually the person who has in-network coverage and is considered as the “Identified Patient” (IP) by the insurance provider. You and your provider will determine who the IP is at the start of your work together.

  • If you are in-network, we will change your appointment’s billing code to reflect the additional time added to your scheduled session. However, you will only be charged the same copay or coinsurance you have been for previous sessions.

    Out of network clients are still responsible for paying for the additional time. Your invoice will reflect this time and the rate is based on the out-of-network pricing.

  • Generally, yes, however there are some exceptions to this. In this instance, the provider will be transparent about the charges before your card is charged.

  • No. Because we do not text our clients. On occasion, we might exchange text messages for logistics and scheduling purposes. However, texts are never utilized for treatment purposes.

  • Unfortunately, no, we do not. At Go With The Body Counseling, financial wellness is seen as an aspect of one’s overall health and wellness.

  • The practice policies for rescheduling and/or canceling an appointment within 48 hours of the scheduled time is that the individual can be charged 50% of the appointment fee. Keep in mind that these late or misses session fees do not count towards your insurance deductible or out of pocket maximum.

Generally, we will try our best to offer the individual a time to reschedule in these instances, however this is not a guarantee.

  • Medical and Accommodation Reports
    $55 per 15 minutes

    Letters for workplace or school accommodation, Emotional Support Animal letters for residence can be time-consuming depending on the detail and purpose of the letter, as well as several drafts and sometimes ongoing coordination with the recipient (i.e., Human Resources, academic department, landlord, etc.) and client. We cannot verify that your animal or pet is properly trained as an emotional support animal; we can only affirm that you may need one based on your mental health status.

    The client can request we provide this service; however, it is within our right to decline this request based on need, appropriateness, and professional assessment. For example, if the client requests accommodation(s) for a specific diagnosis, but we do not professionally agree with this diagnosis or the accommodation(s) in question—we will not write this letter as it would be illegal and unethical.

    It can anywhere from a few days to a week to complete the first draft of a letter, depending on the schedule of your clinician at the time you request the document. Please discuss this timeline with us, as schedules may vary.

Insurance FAQs

  • We accept CareFirst, BlueCross BlueShield, Anthem, and Tricare Select policies. Tricare Prime requires a referral for services.

  • The practice submits In Network insurance claims using Simple Practice.

    For Out of Network individuals, we can set up your account to automatically generate super bills for your access to send to your insurance company to be credited for Out Of Network benefits. In this case, it is your responsibility to submit these to your insurance company.

  • This is based on choice and preference of the individual. Many choose to go through insurance because it is more cost-effective. However, some choose not to use insurance so that they don’t have to potentially share mental health information with their insurance company.

    In order to use insurance for services, a diagnosis must be provided in order for the practice to receive reimbursement.

    Insurance providers may also request treatment reports, notes, and updated prognoses. Based on this information, insurance providers can also state how many sessions they will cover.

  • 1) If using your insurance is a priority, we can provide external referrals of clinicians in your area that take your type of insurance.
    2) You can pay our out-of-network rates, which vary based on the duration of the session and type of session — i.e., individual or couples / family.
    3) After paying for services with our out-of-network rate, you can submit a superbill. A superbill is a receipt summarizing the service and pertinent information an insurance provider would need to file a claim. You, the client, are responsible for this process.

    Suppose you do not have CareFirst, BlueCross BlueShield, or TRICARE Select as licensed professional counselors (LPCs) and licensed clinical professional counselors (LCPCs). In that case, our professional services often qualify for partial reimbursement under most insurance plans for psychotherapy services through out-of-network provider benefits. Many insurance companies provide out-of-network benefits. Please review your insurance benefits to determine what your policy covers for out-of-network reimbursement rates. The client is responsible for learning and familiarizing themselves with the details of their coverage.

  • Even if you are an in-network client, insurance does not cover any breach in our cancellation policies, including no-shows.

    As a reminder, our cancellation policy is that an appointment must be canceled within 48 hours of the appointment time—or the client will be charged 50% of the service fee. This policy can be found in the intake forms — Policies and Procedures — that you will review and sign prior to the start of our work together.

    Group counseling is also an out-of-network expense.

    This does not cover other expenses related to work outside of the session, such as writing and providing professional letters, assessments, or traveling for legal requests. You will be responsible for paying out of pocket for these expenses.

  • If you are an active client of ours, we will run a free coverage check for your insurance plan for you and let you know what you can expect to pay before your first intake session.

    Additionally, we encourage people to reach out to their insurance provider. You can find their number on your insurance card or website. You can also consult with an HR representative at your employer, if applicable.

    You can start by asking the insurance representative about your out-of-network coverage or reimbursement for a “licensed professional counselor” or “LPC”.

    Sometimes, they will want a “CPT code,” which is a service code professionals use to file claims. The most frequently used CPT code in therapy is “90837,” which is a service for a “60-minute individual psychotherapy session.” This will at least give you some idea of what coverage will look like with a common service.

    Reaching out to large systems like insurance companies can be very frustrating and overwhelming at times! Unfortunately, despite our contract with insurance companies to offer reduced rates to their policyholders, this practice is not employed by them and have no involvement in their customer service or operations. If unsatisfied with your insurance provider or plan, we strongly encourage you to inquire with your employer or explore other options.

  • Once you become an active client and use your in-network insurance, we will run a free coverage report and provide this to you before scheduling an intake session. This generally will take 24-48 hours for us to provide this information after you share your insurance details. If for some reason there is a delay, the clinician will be proactive in communicating this to you and talk about any implications of this delay.
