about insurance & reimbursement

For many reasons, many therapists in private practice choose to not take insurance. Dr. Jeannine does not accept insurance in her practice, but can be seen as an out of network provider. She can provide superbills that you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement according to your policy, if you have out of network benefits and are eligible.

• If you are unfamiliar with your benefits and this process, please contact your insurer before we set up a consultation. Here are some questions to ask:

  • Do I have a deductible?

  • Is Telehealth covered? Are there any session or other limits?

  • What can I expect to be reimbursed for a therapy session provided by a psychologist (doctor)?

    • Individual therapy procedure code is 90837 or 90834

    • Couples and family therapy procedure code is 90847

    • (Note: you can ask about reimbursement for services from a doctor/ sometimes called “physician,” not a master’s level therapist. Insurances typically have different pay scales/reimbursement rates for doctoral vs master’s level therapists, where reimbursement is higher for psychologists or doctoral level therapists).

  • What is the process for reimbursement? How long will this process take?

• You are responsible for contacting your insurer to learn about your benefits and the process as well as submitting your paperwork. You are responsible for timely payment of services regardless if you receive reimbursement. Dr. Jeannine cannot guarantee reimbursement. Please also contact your insurance company to inquire about your out-of-network benefits before we set up phone consultation.

• Please note that I do not accept Medicare or Medicaid in my practice, and due to federal restrictions that are meant to protect beneficiaries, I am unable to see beneficiaries of these plans in my practice, even as an out of network provider.
