What are Out-of-Network services?

This means we do not bill insurance directly, and all fees are due at the time of service. Most insurance plans offer some type of reimbursement for mental health services. Many plans reimburse up to 80 percent. You will receive a superbill each month containing all of the information needed to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Please review our Out-of-Network Reimbursement Guide for assistance with contacting your insurance company to determine your specific plan and out-of-network benefits.

Payment Information

For payment, we use Ivy Pay, which is a HIPAA-compliant credit card service. IvyPay accepts all major credit cards, including those used for Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
