At this time, we only work with adults (18+) located in Maryland.
All clients have access to a user-friendly client portal for scheduling, messaging their therapist, uploading documents, and completing intake forms.

Out of Network
We are considered out-of-network and payment is due in full at each appointment. You are encouraged to seek out-of-network benefits or use your HSA or FSA if applicable.
We can provide Superbills with all necessary information to submit to your insurer. These can be easily accessed through our online client portal. We are happy to walk you through this process (see below as well for more information).
For further explanation, see our FAQ page.
Questions to ask your insurance company about your out-of-network coverage
-
This will let you know how much money you need to spend out-of-network before your benefits will kick in. I have seen plans have deductibles as low as $500 and as high as $3,000.
-
Finding out how much you’ve already spent will let you know how much more you need to spend in order to meet your out-of-network deductible. For example, if your out-of-network deductible is $1,000 and you’ve already spent $850, you will only need to spend $150 more before your out-of-network benefits kick in.
-
A “calendar year” policy starts on January 1 and ends on December 31. A “policy year” policy is a 12 month policy that will have a different start and end date, for example, August 1-July 31. It is important to determine your policy period when factoring in how much more time you have to meet your deductible.
-
This is the percentage or amount that you will be responsible for. If your out-of-network coverage states a copay amount, e.g., $50, that should be all you owe once you hit your deductible (if applicable) and insurance will cover the rest. If you have a coinsurance percentage, e.g., 20%, this is the amount you will be responsible for.
-
Typically, you will need to obtain a Superbill (which we can email monthly or is accessible through our client portal) and submit it to your insurance company. A Superbill is a document that includes dates of service, a diagnosis code, a CPT code, and your therapist’s NPI and EIN numbers. Insurance companies have different ways to submit the Superbill, typically through their website, snail mail, or fax. You can also use Reimbursify, an app that can submit Superbills on your behalf (they charge per claim and do all of the backend work so that you do not have to navigate the insurance system yourself).
-
There is a time period after the “date of service” to submit the Superbill to your insurance company for reimbursement. So far, I’ve seen this range from 90-180 days. Make sure you find out how much time you have to submit the Superbill after “the date of service” when calling your insurance company.
