All other services provided would be private pay or as an out-of-network provider.

Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for out-of-network psychotherapy services. Our practice is able to provide clients with a receipt for reimbursement that they can submit themselves to their insurance provider for out of network reimbursement.
Out-of-Network Benefits
Your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of your session cost. True Change Counseling has partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay your co-insurance for our sessions, instead of paying thfull fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, Mrs. Austin can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be. Learn more…
We recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
- Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
- What is my plan’s out-of-network provider coverage?
- Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
- Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical/mental health items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical/mental health service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
