Some of our therapists participate in managed care panels, and a reasonable sliding scale may be considered. Both can be discussed on your call.
The practice asks that prospective clients get in touch before scheduling, so that fees, insurance questions, and payment options are settled ahead of a first session.
Most of our therapists work on an out-of-network basis. Some do participate in managed care panels. Which applies to you depends on the therapist you are matched with, so it is worth raising on your first call.
You pay the practice directly for each session. On request we provide a superbill, which you submit to your insurer yourself, and any reimbursement is paid to you rather than to us.
A number of our therapists participate in managed care panels. Because this varies by clinician and by plan, we prefer to confirm it with you directly rather than list panels that may change.
Insurers require a billable mental health diagnosis before paying a claim, and that diagnosis stays on file with them. When you pay privately, that step does not happen.
Insurance plans often limit how many sessions they will authorize. Here, the length and pace of your therapy is decided between you and your therapist.
If you are working with us on an out-of-network basis and your plan includes out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits, this is how it works.
Contact the office to discuss payment options before scheduling your first session.
On request, we provide a detailed superbill: an itemized receipt containing what your insurer needs to process a claim.
Usually through your plan’s app or member portal, following the process your insurer specifies.
Paid to you rather than to the practice, at whatever percentage your own plan allows.
Every plan differs. This hypothetical shows how reimbursement is calculated once a deductible has been met.
Illustrative figures only. Not a quote, an estimate, or a guarantee of reimbursement. Your allowed amount, reimbursement percentage, and deductible are set entirely by your own plan.
Call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask these. The answers turn the $250 fee into a real net figure.
Have your member ID to hand. Note the reference number they give you.
Not sure how to read the answers? Bring them to your free consultation, or call +1 212-675-8497.
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your care will cost. Providers are required to give clients who are uninsured, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of expected charges.
To request one before scheduling, call +1 212-675-8497 or email info@nycpsychotherapycoop.com. For more on your rights, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
Consideration for a reasonable sliding scale is available for evaluation, based on your individual circumstances and on availability. It is limited, so we would rather say so plainly than let you assume otherwise.
Raise it during your free consultation, or when you first contact the office. It is a normal question, it is asked often, and it will not affect how you are treated.
It depends on the therapist. Most of our clinicians work on an out-of-network basis, which means you pay the practice directly and can use your out-of-network benefits, with a superbill provided on request for possible reimbursement. Some of our therapists do participate in managed care panels. Because this varies by clinician and by plan, the quickest answer is to ask us on your free consultation.
An itemized receipt showing the dates you attended, the services provided, the amount you paid, and your therapist’s licensing details. It contains what an insurer needs to process an out-of-network claim. You submit it yourself, and any reimbursement is paid directly to you.
That depends entirely on your own plan: its out-of-network deductible, its allowed amount for the service, and the percentage it reimburses. Reimbursement is possible but never guaranteed. The six questions under “Check your coverage” will give you your own figures in about ten minutes.
Sessions are $250. The practice asks that you get in touch before scheduling, so that your fee and payment options are settled ahead of your first session.
Yes. The initial 30-minute consultation carries no fee and no obligation to book anything afterward. It exists so you can judge fit before spending anything.
Consideration for a reasonable sliding scale is available for evaluation, based on individual circumstances and availability. Availability is limited, so please raise it when you first make contact rather than assuming either way.
Ask on a free 30-minute consultation. Bring your insurance questions, and leave knowing where you stand before you spend anything.
