Do you take insurance?
We do not accept insurance. We can provide a superbill for you to give to your insurance company. We cannot speak to the process of filing for out-of-network reimbursement since it varies between companies. We recommend reaching out to your insurance company and speaking to them about your reimbursement options, stipulations, and rates. We cannot guarantee that your insurance company will reimburse you and thus recommend you clarify directly with your insurance provider. Medicare will not cover out-of-network expenses and we cannot provide a superbill for Medicare-covered clients.
Acepta aseguranza?
Los profesionales de Begin Again no son proveedores dentro de la red y no facturan al seguro por los servicios de asesoramiento que brindamos. Las tarifas anteriores se proporcionan para ayudarlo a tomar una decisión informada. Las Superbills para el reembolso fuera de la red están disponibles para los clientes que son atendidos por un maestro o clínico independiente.

Debe informarse que las superfacturas incluyen la información de licencia del médico, los códigos de diagnóstico y procedimiento.
