  • Dear Loyal Clients,

    We hope your new year is starting out well! We also want to remind you to take the time to review your insurance benefits for the coming year.

    Please be aware that several insurance carriers have changed their "in-network" and "out-of-network" policies this year. It's our clients' responsibility to know their insurance benefits. We value our clients and want them to be aware of their mental health benefits at the outset of the year.

    When speaking with your insurance company, be sure to confirm coverage for appointments with your Associates in Psychotherapy therapist. Just give them our group name (Associates in Psychotherapy), individual provider's name/NPI, and Tax ID# (30-0160549).

  • 3 Steps to Confirm Your Health Insurance Benefits

     (1) Organize Information Needed to Confirm Benefits

    When contacting your insurance provider, be prepared to give the following information:

    -Your Name
    -Date of birth
    -Name of the primary insurance plan holder and their relationship to you
    -Insurance policy number
    -Group ID number


    (2) Contact Your Insurance Provider

    1. Call Insurance Company - The best way to confirm your benefits is to call the number on your health insurance card.
    2. Visit Insurance Policy Website - View a list of in-network and out-of-network providers. While it may be quicker to look online, in our experience the information is often outdated. Therefore, calling directly is recommended.


    (3) Keep a Record of your Insurance Details

    It's always recommended to keep a record of your call with the insurance company. You should write down or type notes in your phone and include the following details:

    1. Name of the insurance representative
    2. Call reference # if available
    3. Date and time of the call
    4. Details of benefits

  • We hope that this information is helpful. We look forward to working with you in the coming year!

    Sincerely,
    Associates in Psychotherapy
