How fees work
Thicket is out of network. This is how paying works, in the order most people ask.
Insurance we work with
Thicket is out of network. I don't bill insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Many plans with out-of-network benefits reimburse part of a session, and your plan decides what it pays.
Most PPO plans may reimburse out-of-network sessions
Medicare and Medicaid: not billed
If you pay yourself
You pay for each session by card, including HSA and FSA cards. I give you the fee in writing before we start. A limited number of reduced-fee spots may be open, so ask when you reach out. A session cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice is charged the session fee.
Receipts for reimbursement
At the end of each month you get an itemized receipt, called a superbill, to send to your plan, which may reimburse part of a session. It carries a diagnosis code, which your insurer sees. Your plan decides what, if anything, it reimburses.
An estimate in advance
If you pay without insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of what care will cost before you start, and I give you one in writing in advance. If a bill is $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it. The estimate is not a contract.
Checking your benefits
I don't check your benefits for you. Before your first session, call the number on your insurance card and ask what your plan pays for out-of-network outpatient mental health visits.
Do you cover out-of-network outpatient mental health visits?
Is there a deductible, and how much of it is met?
What share of the fee do you reimburse?
