DOUBLE HEART THERAPY

Insurance and Fees

Insurance

Double Heart Therapy is currently in-network with Optum/United Behavioral Health. 

Otherwise, Double Heart Therapy is considered a private pay service. If you would like to use your insurance we welcome you to contact your insurance provider prior to starting treatment to ask about your out of network benefits (questions included below). If you do qualify for out-of-network benefits, your therapist can provide you a super-bill at your request to present to your insurance to seek reimbursement.

 Questions to ask your insurance to verify out of network benefits:

  • What is my coverage for out-of-network outpatient mental health services?

  • What is my yearly deductible, and has it been met yet?

  • How many therapy sessions are covered per calendar year?

  • Can you please tell me what the reimbursement rate is for code 90791 and 90837?

(Once you have the answer to these questions give me a call and we can discuss in more detail your financial responsibility).

**Dealing with insurance can be messy, but it does not have to be. Have your insurance card and list of questions ready before your call to ask about your plan. If there is something you do not understand, do not be afraid to ask your insurance provider and I’m sure they can help explain. You might be surprised to find out your coverage is better than you would think!

Fees for therapy services as of January 1, 2024:

$175 initial assessment (60 minutes)

$165 for ongoing individual therapy (50 minutes)

$175 for couples/family therapy (50 minutes)

“No-Surprises Act/Good Faith Estimate”

Standard Notice: “Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges” Under the No Surprises Act (For use by health care providers no later than January 1, 2022):

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill 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, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

• If you receive a bill that is 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.

Most psychotherapy clients receive regular and recurring services. It may be difficult to estimate the total length of treatment to achieve initial goals. Additionally, client goals may change during treatment. With that in mind, a Good Faith Estimate may be provided for recurring services provided within a 12 month period (e.g. the cost of weekly sessions for a year). A new estimate can be provided for additional services beyond 12 months.
