The Initial Intake will allow us an opportunity to discuss pertinent historical factors as well as presenting concerns in order to determine the best approach for moving forward with therapeutic services.
Individual, Couples, Parent, and Family Therapy Sessions (50-60 minutes)
The majority of clients attend weekly sessions. However, the frequency and goals of treatment are determined based on you or your family’s particular needs and circumstances.
Billing and Insurance Information
Wavelengths NW is in-network with most United Behavioral Health, Medica, and Aetna insurance plans and is in network with the First Health Network umbrella.
Wavelengths NW is also able to bill as an out-of-network provider for clients who are not members of these plans. This means you will need to pay for your sessions out-of-pocket and at the time of your visit. However, if you wish to use your insurance, I am able provide a receipt (called a “superbill”) for you to provide to your insurance company in order to receive partial reimbursement for your session, amount depending on your carrier. It is important that you contact your insurance company (call the member service line on the back of your insurance card) to ask them about your plan benefits. Here are a few specific questions you should ask your insurance company:
- What are my out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health services?
- They will usually tell you that a percentage of the session fee is covered once you have met your deductible.
- If I have to meet a deductible, what is this amount? Does my deductible renew every year?
- Where should I send my receipts/”superbills”?
- How long will it take me to receive reimbursement?
I can help walk you through this process with your insurance company, though it is your responsibility to pay for the fee at the time of service.
Note: If you have an HSA account, you can typically use these funds to pay for your sessions.
