Insurance

At this time I am currently an in-network preferred provider for:

• Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield

• First Choice Health

• Regence Blue Shield

• Aetna

• Cigna Healthcare

I currently offer out-of-network contracts with Kaiser Permanente of Washington.

I am and am an out-of-network provider for all other insurance companies. Many insurance companies provide out-of-network benefits for my services and reimburse a portion of the cost for sessions. 

For all other insurance companies I bill for services as an out-of-network provider with a receipt provided for reimbursement purposes. Clients are responsible for the difference not paid by insurance.

Please verify insurance coverage with your health insurance for out-of-network benefits. 

When speaking with your insurance provider, you may consider asking the following:

• Do I need prior approval/referral from my primary care physician?

• How many outpatient mental health sessions are covered per year?

• Do I have a benefit year or a calendar year of coverage?

• Is family therapy covered? If so, is a mental health diagnosis for one member required for reimbursement?

• What is my deductible and has is been met?

• What is my reimbursement rate for an out-of-network provider?

• Where can I find the form necessary to submit my own medical claim for reimbursement?
