Our therapists are actively working on becoming providers for additional insurance networks.  In the meantime

if you have other insurance we can often work with you as an out-of-network provider.  It is a good idea to contact your insurance company and ask them about mental health benefits when using an out-of-network provider. Keep in mind, that you must meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis for insurance to reimburse you for treatment and that most insurance companies do not provide reimbursement for couple counseling.  Growing Hope Counseling is  happy to provide you with a detailed receipt to file with your insurance company, if this is what you would like to do.

 

Growing Hope Counseling will also try and help you find a provider who is in-network with your insurance company if this would better meet your needs.  We are here to help.  

Investing in therapy is a serious choice to significantly improve your life by healing your heart, improving your relationships, encouraging positive growth in your family, and nurturing your good life. Budgeting to accommodate choosing happiness is something that can be accomplished if this is important to you.

Using your Health Savings Account/Flexible Spending Account for therapy can save money as those accounts are pre-tax.  For more detailed information see our Fee Schedule below.

Fee Schedule
Can I use my health insurance or Health Savings Account/Flexible Spending Account for therapy?

We currently accept Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Tricare and Ambetter.  If you have other insurance we can often work with you as an out-of-network provider.  It is a good idea to contact your insurance company and ask them about mental health benefits when using an out-of-network provider. Keep in mind, that you must meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis for insurance to reimburse you for treatment and that most insurance companies do not provide reimbursement for couple counseling.

 

Growing Hope Counseling is happy to provide you with a detailed receipt to file with your insurance company, if this is what you would like to do. I am also quite willing to try and help you find a provider who is in-network with your insurance company if this would better meet your needs.

There are significant benefits to paying fee-for-service/out-of pocket for therapy

  • Insurance companies will not be involved in decision-making about therapy services or impose limits on treatment services provided.

  • Details about your treatment and your private therapy information remain private and are not required to be provided to an insurance company.

 

It is my goal to provide you with premium therapy services on our terms--yours and mine--without interference from outside the therapeutic relationship--whenever this is possible and best meets your needs.
