Question 1

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Insurance is only available for therapy sessions.

Empowering To Thrive, PLLC accepts the following insurances:

Aetna, Allegiance, Wellpoint, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Evernorth, Magellan, Optum, Oscar Health, United Healthcare (UHC), United Behavioral Health (UBH), and UMR. Medicaid plans are accepted through Wellpoint and United Healthcare only.

While we always encourage clients to practice direct communication with their insurance provider, we are here to help you understand your in-network and out-of-network coverage for mental health services.

Question 2

What does in-network or out-of-network mean?

Accepted Answer

In-network means your therapist can directly bill your insurance company on your behalf. The insurance company has negotiated a rate specifically for their clients with in-network therapists which typically are lower than the standard rates. The client is responsible for any sessions that your insurance might deny and should that happen a payment plan can be offered.

Out-of-network means your therapist is not directly covered by your insurance company. When working with out-of-network benefits, the client pays for sessions upfront, is provided with what is called a “superbill” to submit to their insurance, and is typically reimbursed by the insurance company after a deductible is met.

Question 3

What are your session rates? How will I be billed?

Accepted Answer

Empowering To Thrive can send you a superbill which you will submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement rate will vary depending on your plan and your deductible. We are happy to help you navigate this process.  We will keep a credit card on file, and you will be billed at the end of each session.

Question 8

Do you offer virtual therapy or in-person sessions?

Currently we offer Telehealth sessions, In-person sessions are based upon availability of therapist and office space. Some clients may find therapy more easily accessible with their schedules by telehealth. Upon request we may be able to offer in-person sessions depending on the therapist and office availability.
