I am an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance. However, some reimbursement is likely possible if you have an out-of-network benefit on your health insurance policy for telehealth. All clients receive an automatic statement for the preceding month’s services provided by Paula Tropiano Counseling & Coaching with relevant details for submission to your insurance company. This statement combines your insurance company’s “Out of Network Claim Form” for mental health.
If you are planning to submit for reimbursement, please call or check your plan’s website for benefits information related to your plan and access the generic claim noted above – Easy.
Due to new legislation, the No Surprises Act, you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) if you do not intend to submit to insurance for possible Out of network (OON) reimbursement.
The frequency and duration of services are always your choices. You will receive a GFE for the initial appointment. After that appointment, if you continue to engage in services, you will receive another GFE, projected for a determined duration.
Since I do not submit any bills, there are no surprises; still, a GFE can provide the projected cost of counseling services at my rate for up to one year. GFE details will be provided on electronic forms for completion before beginning services.
