Your first few sessions will consist of an informal but comprehensive intake/assessment and will take about 55 minutes. Your therapist will gather information to better understand your current situation and symptoms and set goals. Throughout your treatment your therapist will provide psychoeducation, help you process current and past events, explore patterns in your life, and build tangible skills and tools to keep you accountable to your goals.
Most sessions will take place once per week, unless you require additional or reduced sessions.
All of the therapists in the practice are in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans ONLY. We are not in-network with any HMO plans.
You are strongly encouraged to contact your insurance carrier before your session to understand any co-payments, co-insurance, or costs for which you may be responsible. Services may be covered in full or part by your plan. You may check your coverage by calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card and asking the following questions:
Any payments that you are responsible for are due at the time of services and may be made via cash, check, or credit card. If payment is not received by the 30th of the month, it will automatically be charged to the credit card on file. Birchwood Clinic requires a valid credit card to be kept on file.
After your first session, your claim is immediately sent to your insurance company for processing. You will be notified once your insurance company processes the claim to verify any costs you are responsible for.
Absolutely. If you have insurance with another company, we can provide a statement for you to submit for possible reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. You will need to pay for your session at the time of the appointment and then we will email you a “superbill” or receipt for insurance reimbursement to submit to your insurance company. Please call your insurance company to understand your out-of-network benefits.
