Your Good Faith Estimate

Meeting Point Counseling will give you an estimate of expected charges when we first meet or whenever you ask for an estimate. This is called a “good faith estimate” as required by the No Surprises Act, The good faith estimate is not a bill or contract - It simply shows a list of expected charges for counseling services based on information known at the time it is created. We'll generally update it annually or whenever fees change. You have access to your estimate through the client portal.

​Using Out-Of-Network Insurance Benefits

Meeting Point Counseling LLC is out of network with insurance companies. This means that we do not have contracts with insurance companies to provide services in their networks. ​ With an out-of-network provider, you pay the us directly for services. Your insurance provider may reimburse you for part of the cost, depending on your out-of-network benefits.

Using Out-of-network benefits may give you flexibility in choosing a therapist, especially if you find someone who's experience and approach are a good fit for you.

What are out-of-network benefits?

While many insurance plans include out-of-network benefits, some do not. The best way to find out about your coverage is to contact your insurance company to ask. Your insurance card or policy will include a member services contact number where you call. Make sure to ask them about out-of-network benefits, sometimes abbreviated as "ONN" benefits. You can ask

1. Does my plan include out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health counseling or psychotherapy?
2. Do I have a separate out-of-network deductible?
3. How much of my deductible has been met?
4. What specifically is reimbursed when using out-of-network benefits?
5. Are limits on the number of outpatient mental health visits?
6. Do I need pre-authorization or a referral?
7. Are there specific diagnoses or services covered in my plan?
8. How do I request reimbursement for out-of-network services?

Out-of-network reimbursement

While the process will depend on your plan, the process generally goes like this:

1. You pay the fee in full at the time of each session. Payment is made directly to Meeting Point Counseling.
2. Meeting Point Counseling generates a superbill, the document you can submit for reimbursement. It will be provided to you as a pdf file on our client portal. We generally create these monthly, but can do them on a different schedule if that is helpful.
3. You submit the superbill to your insurance company. This is often as simple as uploading the superbill to your insurance company portal. The details depend on your insurance company.
4. Your insurance company processes the claim and reimburses you.
