Questions to ask a Therapist in Midlothian
Are you an In-Network provider with my insurance company, or only private pay?
If you are planning to use insurance for payment, you’ll want to know if your prospective therapist is listed as an In-Network provider on your insurance plan. You can contact your insurance company and ask for a list of therapists in your area who would be considered In-Network.
Therapists who are only private pay are considered Out-of-Network providers. Since some insurance companies reimburse a percentage of the therapist’s standard rate, you’ll want to learn more from your insurance company about how they will refund you.
Do you provide Superbills?
A Superbill is a unique receipt with additional information, usually required by insurance companies for reimbursement.
If you find a therapist that is Out-of-Network, you will typically pay the therapist at each session their standard rate of pay. Then, the therapist will provide you a Superbill so that you can submit it to your insurance company for reimbursement.
How much does each session cost?
Therapist rates can vary depending on length and type of session, as well as the therapist’s location, licensure, certification, and education.
What degrees, licensure, credentialing do you hold?
A Licensed Professional Counselor will have completed a Master’s degree from an accredited institution, passed a rigorous test by their state licensing board, and completed a minimum of 3,000 post-graduate hours of clinical experience under supervision. Licensed professional counselors must also adhere to a strict Code of Ethics that is regulated by the state board.
