Insurance & Direct Billing

Check with your insurance provider for details on what your specific plan covers for a Master's of Clinical Social Work provider or Psychologist. We provide direct billing services, but we are not able to know prior to your appointment how much your insurance will cover. Please contact your insurance provider and ask how much they cover per session and per year. Most companies have extended health care insurance plans that provide full or partial coverage of psychological services. Electronic receipts are provided so that you may seek additional coverage and reimbursement for your expenses. You may also be able to claim receipts as a medical expense on your taxes.
