Many clients choose to pay directly for their counseling sessions, in lieu of utilizing their medical benefits. This keeps the control, information disclosed, and progress of the therapy within your hands, not in the hands of a third party. However, if you chose to utilize your medical benefits, please be aware of the following:

​

• Each individual insurance plan chooses whether or not to reimburse for teletherapy sessions.  PLEASE check with your EMPLOYER to be sure your specific plan covers telehealth.  If they do not, YOU will be responsible for all payments due, even if you have benefits from an eligible plan listed below. 

• Some insurance plans have a maximum number of sessions they will reimburse. Any subsequent sessions are your responsibility to pay. In addition to any deductibles and/or co-pays.

• ALL insurance companies require a Mental Health Diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. This means that regardless of why you are seeking counseling, you will be given a diagnosis that will remain in your permanent medical record.

• Some insurance companies require written treatment plans and goal objectives every 4-8 sessions. This report may include any information disclosed during the counseling sessions.
