Fees and Insurance

The kind of support therapist and consultants provide used to be given and received communally. The uncomfortable fact is that this support is now mediated by money, and my rates reflect the costs of running a sustainable practice and my expertise. I offer a reduced rate for Early Childhood Educators -- reach out for more information.

Info about obtaining Out-of-Network reimbursement:

 

In some cases, you may be able to work directly with your insurance company to get partial reimbursement through your out-of-network (OON) benefits. In general, most PPO plans (not HMO) have OON benefits. However, you must confirm this with your insurance company.  If you will be doing this, I will provide you with Superbills to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Note: insurance companies usually do not reimburse for the full fee, so you will still be paying some money out of pocket.

​

. Here are some helpful questions you can ask your insurance company:

​​

  • Are mental/behavioral health services covered by my out-of-network benefits? (You can provide the Current Procedural Terminology/CPT codes 90837 for individual therapy session and 90791 for initial evaluation).

  • Will service be covered with Brecca Smith, LMHC, NPI# 1962018796

  • How much of the fee is reimbursed for out-of-network providers?

  • What is my deductible?

  • Have I met my deductible?

  • How long do I have to submit my Superbill for reimbursement?

  • How long will it take to be reimbursed for sessions after I have submitted my claims?
