Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you accept insurance?
No, we are a private-pay, cash-only business and do not accept insurance. This allows us to provide individualized care without restrictions often imposed by insurance companies, such as session limits or required pre-authorizations. You’ll have the freedom to prioritize your treatment goals without navigating complex insurance requirements.
2. Why don’t you accept insurance?
By choosing a private-pay model, we can focus entirely on delivering high-quality, client-centered care tailored to your needs. It also eliminates time spent on insurance-related paperwork, allowing us to dedicate more attention to you.
3. How do I pay for services?
We accept cash, checks, and most major credit cards. Payment is due at the time of service.
4. Can I still submit receipts to my insurance for reimbursement?
Yes! While we don’t bill insurance directly, we can provide you with a detailed receipt (superbill) that includes necessary codes for you to submit to your insurance company. Reimbursement will depend on your insurance plan and out-of-network benefits.
5. Are your services eligible for Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)?
Yes, most of our services qualify for HSA or FSA funds. Check with your plan provider to confirm eligibility.
6. What are the benefits of a private-pay model?
Personalized Care: Sessions are tailored to your goals without restrictions on duration or frequency.
Flexibility: You choose the treatment plan that works best for you.
Transparency: No hidden fees or surprises; our pricing is clear and straightforward.
