For comprehensive evaluations, half of the balance is due at the first session and the remanining balance is due prior to the feedback date, when you receive the report. For screenings, payment is due at the time of your appointment.
Even though we do not directly deal with insurance companies, you may have the option to submit documentation for Out of Network benefits depending on your specific insurance plan. We can provide you with a Superbill, that has the necessary information on it, to seek potential reimbursement from your insurance provider. Some common insurance plans that offer Out of Network reimbursement include Aetna, BCBS – Blue Cross Blue Shield, CIGNA, Humana, and UBH – United Healthcare/United Behavioral Health.
Insurance:
At North Metro Psychological Services, we prioritize offering personalized and comprehensive assessments for every client, which is why we operate exclusively as a private pay only practice. We do not accept insurance as a form of payment to ensure the quality and depth of our services are maintained without compromise.
Why We Do Not Accept Insurance?
Our dedication to delivering comprehensive evaluations is upheld by our experienced doctoral-level clinicians. The extensive and tailored nature of these assessments is not typically covered by most insurance companies. Such evaluations, which include learning or educational evaluations, psychoeducational assessments of academic achievement, cognitive (IQ) testing, or personality inventories, are beyond the scope of insurance coverage.
Before seeking reimbursement, please contact your insurance provider directly to understand your Out-of-Network benefits and ask the following questions:
Do I have "out-of-network" benefits?
Are behavioral services covered, and what is the coverage amount?
Is there a deductible, and how much is it?
What portion will be reimbursed?
Is a referral needed from a primary care physician?
Please remember that the amount and time it takes for reimbursement vary based on your insurance company and plan, and seeking reimbursement is your responsibility.
Your investment in mental health is invaluable, and we’re committed to supporting you in this journey, ensuring transparency and clarity in all aspects of our financial interactions.
Your understanding is deeply appreciated, and we look forward to assisting you at North Metro Psychological Services.
