INSURANCE

Not taking insurance for me is a HARD DECISION.

I hold an anti-carceral, liberatory approach to therapy, which means I actively work to reduce harm, challenge oppressive systems, and support true healing outside of punitive models. I also recognize that mental health care exists within a for-profit, managed care system that often prioritizes cost over people. AND I have values of accessibility and equity. This is a rough juxtaposition to hold.

I have been in private practice since 2018, running a group practice since 2020- taking insurance for the duration of that time. I just can’t financially do it anymore- the denials, the clawbacks, the 30+ day wait periods to get paid and hours on the phone is not something I have the capacity to do any longer.

I have a great resource list for therapists who do still accept insurance and would love to provide you those referrals.

I choose to stay in the tension, using what’s available to me to help others and make a living for myself, knowing its flaws, while continuing to work toward the care systems we all deserve.

We can provide you with a Superbill at the end of every month that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

We collect the session rate at the time of session. 

If you would like to see if you have out of network benefits for potential reimbursement:

Call the behavioral/mental health number on the back of your insurance card and wait for the prompt for benefits. When speaking with a representative, ask:

• Do I have Out of Network mental health benefits? (A PPO plan has Out of Network Benefits, an HMO plan does not)

• What are the benefits for standard Out of Network outpatient individual therapy session in an office setting?

• What is my Out of Network deductible? How much have I met?

• Do I need to meet that prior to insurance covering a session?

• Do I have a co-pay per session or a co-insurance percentage?

• What is my Out of Network out of pocket max? How much have I met?

REDUCED/LOW COST FEE

Reduced fee services are available. Sliding scale fee agreements are limited and decided on a case by case basis for individuals who have a low income household or are going through a temporary financial struggle.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE DISCLOSURE

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) of expected charges. The GFE shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for services provided by Woven. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. It does not take into account any reimbursement that you may receive as a result of out of network benefits.

The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur.

If you are billed for more than this Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.

You may contact Dr. Mae Casanova, Clinical Director of growgood psychology to let her know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate.
