Questions to Ask Your Insurance Provider

Call your insurance for more detailed plan information. 

Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

What amount will I be reimbursed for the following services?

     CPT Code 90791 (initial intake) at a fee of $200

     CPT Code 90837 (individual therapy session) at a fee of $185

​​Do I need to meet a deductible each year before I can begin to receive reimbursement for sessions?

​​What is my session limit?

​​Is preauthorization required and if so, what documentation is necessary?

​​Does my provider need to fill out any specific forms?

When services are provided on a fee-for-service basis, required documentation for reimbursement by your insurer can be provided. If you are planning to seek reimbursement from your insurance company, make sure that you know what is covered and whether you need approval ahead of time from them.
