Out-of-network reimbursement
As a courtesy service for our clients who have Aetna, Cigna, and United HealthCare (UHC)/UMR plans, we are happy to do benefits checks at the beginning of therapy and submit out-of-network benefits claims on your behalf. Your therapist’s full fee will still be due at the time of service, and any subsequent reimbursement from your insurance plan will be paid directly to you by your own insurance company.
For clients with all other types of insurance, we are unable to interact directly with your insurance company. We can provide you with superbills so that you can submit your own claims for reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits.
Relationship therapy and insurance
Family therapy (CPT code 90847) is covered by some insurance plans only in cases where:
- the treatment is for the purpose of addressing the mental health diagnosis of one identified person in the couple/family/partnership; and
- the treatment is billed under that individual’s insurance plan.
Usually, clients seek relationship therapy for a complex constellation of mutual challenges that do not meet this narrow criteria. We are unable to bill insurance, provide superbills, or submit out of network claims on your behalf for family therapy unless it meets the above description.
As defined by insurance companies, couples/relationship therapy is generally not the same thing as family therapy. Clients seeking couples/relationship therapy with us should anticipate that those services will not be covered by insurance, even by CareFirst/Blue Cross Blue Shield plans and plans with out of network benefits.
Free (pro bono) services
We provide assessments for gender-affirming medical care at no cost, in keeping with our commitment to reducing barriers to healthcare for transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people. Most of our clinicians have signed the GALAP pledge. Please see our Surgical Readiness Assessment page for more information and to schedule an appointment.
We are members of the Intercultural Counseling Connection, which offers culturally and linguistically responsive pro bono therapy to asylum seekers and other forced migrants.
