Insurance

Michelle Hurlbert and Keri Schafer are in-network with Aetna and BCBS. We will submit in-network claims according to your plan. It is your responsibility to verify coverage. Please call your provider and ask the questions listed below.

If your counselor is out-of-network with your plan, we are willing to provide you with a record of your sessions (and your payments) in the form of a ‘superbill’, which you may submit to your insurer. Out-of-network therapy services are typically covered only in part by health insurance plans.

Please check your coverage very carefully by asking the following questions of your insurance provider:

• Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
• Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
• Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
• What is the coverage amount and co-pay/co-insurance fee per therapy session?
• Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?

Payment

We accept debit cards (including HSA and FSA), as well as, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover credit cards. A card must be on file to schedule appointments. The card will be charged at the end of our session.

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24-hours beforehand. Otherwise, you will be charged your full fee. Insurance will never reimburse for missed sessions. Therefore, missed session fees are your financial responsibility.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

By law, health care providers must give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
• If you are charged at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
