How Billing Works
We aim to keep billing straightforward and help you understand costs before you start. Here are the basics most people want to know:
- If you use insurance: your plan may include deductibles, copays, coinsurance, or limits. What you pay depends on your specific plan.
- If your therapist is in-network: we can bill your insurance, and you are responsible for any client portion your plan requires.
- If coverage changes: costs can change during the year, especially when deductibles reset.
- If you need help: call and we will help you understand your options and next steps.
