INSURANCE
Reasons We Don't Take Insurance:
We recognize that many individuals like to use insurance to cover the cost for counseling. There are a few different reasons Wellspace Counseling is not doing so at this time:
​
REASON #1: You Have to Be Diagnosed
For insurance companies to cover the cost of therapy, a person has to receive a diagnosis, even if the diagnosis does not match what you are experiencing or what you want to work on. For example, if a couple wants to come in for counseling, one person has to receive a diagnosis in order for an insurance company to cover the cost. And we don't think you should have a mental health diagnosis on your permanent medical record in order to receive help.
​
REASON #2: Insurance Companies Have Their Say in Treatment
Insurance companies get to influence the type of treatment people receive, the frequency of treatment, and the number of sessions a person is able to attend. Insurance takes some of the customization or flexibility out of what a person needs from mental health counseling.

STANDARD NOTICE
“Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges”
Under the No Surprises Act
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 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 one 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.
