Insurance Information

We currently do not accept insurance – GroundWork is considered an out-of-network provider, which means that we do not bill insurance companies directly, and all services are paid for privately / “out of pocket”
We are happy to provide our clients with detailed appointment receipts, so that they may seek potential reimbursement through their insurance, however, we do not guarantee reimbursement.

What is an "Out of Network" Provider?

Many insurance companies require a deductible to be met before they start paying for mental health coverage, so you may be paying out of pocket anyway. GroundWork is considered an out of network provider, which means that we do not bill insurance companies directly. Your services may be eligible for reimbursement through out-of-network benefits, medical spending, or health care savings accounts. Health insurance plans and benefits vary. If you are interested in using your health insurance to see one of our providers, please call your insurance provider to inquire about reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services (see below for questions to ask your insurance company). GroundWork will provide you with a receipt at the end of each session, which you can then submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network coverage/reimbursement.

Why Consider Paying Privately or “Out of Pocket"

In order to have therapy services covered under insurance, a mental health diagnosis must be made. This information then becomes a part of your permanent health care record. This may lead to limitations such as denial for quality life insurance, specific occupations, or health insurance later on.

When using insurance:
– Insurance will have access to your records, diagnosis, treatment plan, even including your records and therapy notes
– Insurance can limit by the diagnosis; limiting your length of therapy and dictating your therapy
– Many insurance companies do not cover couples/relational or family therapy.

Questions To Ask Your Insurance Provider Prior To Therapy

If you would like to investigate the possibility of reimbursement for out-of-network coverage, please check your policy carefully and ask your insurance company the following questions:

- Do I have mental health benefits?
- What is my deductible and has it been met?
- How many mental health sessions per calendar year does my insurance plan cover?
- How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network mental health provider?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
