Insurance Reimbursement for Psychotherapy
 
Medical insurance does not cover distance coaching via phone or Skype or marital/couples coaching. If that is what you are looking for please visit my coaching website for more info. Your insurance may cover face to face individual counseling/psychotherapy. 
To use your insurance, you must have a diagnosable condition such as an anxiety disorder.  If your symptoms meets the DSM criteria for a diagnosable condition, then I will make a diagnosis. 
If we are doing distance coaching and I conclude that you do have a diagnosable condition beyond the scope of coaching, I will assist you in getting connected to the appropriate, face to face psychotherapy services in your area.

Insurance
Services for psychotherapy may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions: 

• What is my deductible and has it been met?
• How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
• Is approval required from my primary care physician?
• My billing service, O'Briens Billing, can help answer these quesions. Please call them with your insurance information before your first scheduled appointment: (315) 437-1451
