Insurance for Counseling

Counseling may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan.

Look on the back of your card for a number for behavioral health, mental health, or substance abuse or call member services.
Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

  • Do I have mental health insurance benefits for outpatient psychotherapy?
  • Am I required to see an in-network provider?
  • Is Bernard J. Sullivan, Ph.D. in my network?
  • If Dr. Sullivan is not in my network, do I have out of network benefits?
  • Are my out of network benefits different?
  • Do I need to preauthorize for Outpatient Psychotherapy?
  • What is my deductible and has it been met?
  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
  • What is my co-pay?
  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

If you have out-of-network benefits, ask the same questions about your deductible and co-pay because they frequently differ for out-of-network benefits.

I am a Blue Cross participating provider. However, some people have Blue Cross insurance that requires a network provider and I am not an in network Blue Cross provider. You may want to call a number on the back of your insurance card or customer service and ask the questions above.

Payment
