Insurance & Out of Network Billing
VastMind Wellness, PLLC is paneled with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna. If you have coverage with another insurance provider, a detailed receipt (superbill) can be issued for you to submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement under your Out-of-Network (OON) benefits.
Because every insurance plan handles mental health coverage differently, it’s a good idea to contact your provider directly to understand what’s covered and what your out-of-pocket costs might be. Here are a few helpful questions to ask:
Does my plan include mental health or behavioral health benefits?
What is my deductible, and how much of it has been met?
How many sessions per year are covered, and at what rate?
What is my copay or coinsurance for each session?
Do I need prior authorization or a referral from my primary care doctor?
What are my Out-of-Network (OON) benefits for psychotherapy?
Taking a few minutes to verify your benefits can help you make informed decisions and avoid billing surprises down the line.
Good Faith Estimate
Private pay clients 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 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 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.
