Insurance Information:
I am an in-network provider with Aetna. I am happy to provide a Superbill that can be submitted for out-of-network coverage.
Insurance Reimbursement
Many insurance companies will reimburse anywhere from 30-80% of treatment costs. If you have specific questions about your benefits, please contact your insurance company directly and ask the following questions:
Do I have out-of-network benefits for psychotherapy?
What is my deductible and what has been met so far this year?
What percent of my session rate will be reimbursed?
How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
In many cases, reimbursement depends on the diagnosis code as well as the billing or CPT code. For insurance inquiries, the CPT codes we use most often are:
9079 1 - Diagnostic Evaluation
90834 - Psychotherapy, 45-50 minutes
90834-95- Psychotherapy Telehealth
90837 - Psychotherapy, 60 minutes and above
I will not directly bill your insurance company. You are responsible for all billing and collection of reimbursements from your insurance company.
Good Faith Estimate INFORMATION
Vital Mind Therapy – Jordan Long, LMFT
Under both federal and California law, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of the expected cost of your mental health services if you are uninsured or choosing not to use insurance.
As a client of Vital Mind Therapy, you are entitled to:
A written Good Faith Estimate before beginning services if you are not using insurance.
An estimate that outlines the expected charges for therapy services reasonably anticipated at the time of scheduling.
A GFE provided within one business day for services scheduled at least three days in advance.
An updated estimate if your treatment plan or frequency of sessions changes significantly.
Please note:
The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract, and you are not required to obtain services from Vital Mind Therapy based on the estimate.
The estimated costs are based on the information available at the time and may vary depending on your treatment needs and goals.
If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above the amount stated in your Good Faith Estimate, you may be entitled to dispute the charges.
California-Specific Notice
