What are your fees for service?

Fees depend on the service provided and duration. Clients may receive a free 15-minute phone consultation to determine if we are a good fit for them. Intake sessions (60 minutes plus treatment plan development) are $200; subsequent sessions range from $150-$175. The majority of our clients utilize their benefits to cover a portion or all of their sessions. Sliding Scale rates are available based on need and application if requested.

Why would I use an out of network provider if I have health insurance for mental health?

You can finally connect with a therapist who is uniquely fit to help you and your particular needs, rather than searching merely based on whether the therapist is in-network with your insurance provider! This means you and your therapist decide on how many sessions you need, how long you stay in treatment, and the kinds of therapeutic interventions you want to try, without the insurance company dictating this for you. It strengthens your privacy, and you can even decide if your mental health treatment even becomes part of your insurance's health record.

Do you accept insurance?

Ascend Counseling works with most commercial insurance companies as an out of network provider.

How does using an Out-of-Network (OON) provider work?

Clients are provided with a superbill (an itemized receipt) to submit to their insurance company to seek reimbursement. The majority of clients utilizing out of network coverage are reimbursed 70-80% of the cost of sessions. Our administrative team will support you in navigating this with your insurance. 

Some helpful questions to ask your insurance company when considering an out-of-network provider:

Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health care? If so, what are they?

What is my deductible? Have I met that yet?

Does this coverage include remote/online therapy for out-of-network providers? If so, is there an end date to that coverage?

What is the expected reimbursement rate for the following procedural codes? Please note, the below codes are not exhaustive. Depending on the nature of the sessions, additional codes may need to be utilized.
