If you would like to be reimbursed by your insurance company, Maya’s office will provide you with a receipt. This specifies the service(s) provided and the fees paid. Some insurance companies may not reimburse, for example, if you have a deductible, however, some will reimburse anywhere from 40 to 80%. If you are considering this option, you may want to check with your insurance company prior to the initial evaluation.

 

Reimbursement

To Find Out How Much Your Health Insurance Company Will Reimburse:

 

1. Consult your health insurance brochure, and/or,

 

2. Call your health insurance company, either before or after your first visit, and have the following conversation:

          a) Tell the person with whom you are speaking that you are seeing an “out-of-network” Counselor.

          b) Ask how much you will be reimbursed for CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) Code 90837 (60 min indivdual or family member) and other codes such as 90832, 90834 or 90846, as well as 90847, 90849, 90853.

          c) Ask how much your annual deductible will be.

         d) Ask how many certified visits you have per calendar year.

 

3. Submit an invoice, see how much reimbursement you receive, and read the enclosed E.O.B (Explanation of Benefits). Most health insurance companies are required by law either to pay the claim, or tell you why they are not going to pay. Within 30 days, you can call your health insurance company and ask about the “status” of your claim.

 

4. You should then have all the information you need to know how much insurance reimbursement you can expect to receive for your treatment.
