Why are we not paneled with insurance companies?
Great Question...
There are many reasons why we are not on insurance panels. As insurance companies are not mental health care professionals, we prefer that they are not involved in the treatment planning, record review, or evaluation of services. These are some factors we have considered and encourage you to consider as well:​
​
-
It is common practice for insurance companies to ask for additional clinical information after the therapy has begun. This may include personal information, treatment plans, or session notes.
-
Insurance companies have the power to restrict treatment by limiting frequency of sessions or requiring a specific treatment method.
-
Insurance companies determine the provider’s reimbursement rate and rates are inconsistent between companies. Furthermore, most insurance companies do not reimburse therapists adequately.
-
Communicating with insurance companies requires additional time... a lot of time... and negotiation which can be costly for solo providers and oftentimes require a separate billing team In short, dealing with insurance companies means less time is available to provide therapy.
