Insurance
Is testing covered by my insurance?
In many cases, a portion of testing is covered by insurance. My office checks benefits prior to the first appointment, and we provide clients with an estimate of the cost of testing and any coverage provided by their health plan. However, as I always tell clients, we don’t know the exact out-of-pocket cost until the insurance company processes the claims.
What insurance plans do you accept?
BCBS PPO (Standard), BCBS HMO (University of Chicago, Loyola Physician Partners, Silver Cross, Specialty Physicians of IL), Medicare, Aetna, United Healthcare, and Franciscan PHO Northern Indiana. Please note that, for all other plans (including all BCBS Choice plans), my practice is out of network. Clients with out of network plans are considered self-pay and they are provided with a superbill so that they may seek reimbursement directly from their insurance company. Additionally, I’m not a Medicaid provider, and I don’t contract with any managed behavioral health organizations.
Can I pay for testing myself?
Yes, you can. The cost of the initial consultation is $275.00. Once I complete that, I can provide you with an estimate of the cost of testing as well as options for payment.
Referrals
Clients with HMOs must have an authorized referral from their primary care physician that has been requested through their insurance before appointments can be scheduled. Additionally, clients with Medicare must have an order from their primary care physician prior to scheduling an appointment.
Payment
My office accepts cash, check, all major credit cards, and health savings accounts as forms of payment.
Cancellation Policy
If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session. Please note that testing sessions require at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel.
