Using your PPO plan

Many PPO plans cover part of therapy with an out-of-network provider. Here’s how it works:

1. You pay for each session at the time of service.
2. Each month, I send you a superbill with the codes your plan needs.
3. You submit it to your insurance, and they reimburse you directly.

Call the number on your insurance card and ask:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health?
• What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much have I met?
• What percentage do you reimburse after the deductible?
• Is telehealth covered the same as in-person sessions?

Plans usually reimburse therapy only when there’s a diagnosis, so couples therapy is often not covered. Check with your plan before you count on reimbursement.

Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of California

I’m in network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, and Blue Shield of California for individual therapy through Headway. With in-network coverage, you pay your plan’s copay or coinsurance. Check your coverage on Headway →

Couples and family therapy are private pay.

Payment and cancellations

Payment is due at each session. I accept credit, debit, HSA and FSA cards.

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Sessions canceled with less notice, or missed altogether, are charged the full session fee.

If you’re paying out of pocket, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of costs before you start.
