Understanding your insurance benefits is a crucial step in accessing the support you need, and we're dedicated to guiding you through this process with empathy and expertise.
Why Verifying Insurance Coverage is Important
Verifying your insurance coverage is a key initial step before commencing therapy. It ensures that you have a clear understanding of your benefits, coverage limits, and any out-of-pocket costs. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions about your mental health care and avoids any unexpected financial surprises.
How Insurance Impacts Therapy Services
Insurance can significantly influence the accessibility and affordability of your therapy sessions. It often determines the types of services covered, the duration of therapy, and your financial responsibility. By fully understanding your insurance benefits, you can take full advantage of the resources available to you.
Initial Steps for Clients Regarding Insurance
We recommend the following initial steps to our clients:
-
Contact your insurance provider to verify your mental health benefits. We will also do this as a courtesy!
-
Ask about your deductible, copayment, and coinsurance for therapy services.
-
Inquire whether pre-authorization is required for mental health services.
-
Confirm the number of sessions covered per year and any limitations on service types.
Encouragement for Clients to Understand Their Benefits
We wholeheartedly encourage you to become familiar with your insurance benefits. Understanding your coverage empowers you to make the most of your therapy sessions and ensures that we can focus on your mental wellness journey without any administrative distractions.

Understanding Your Coverage
We believe in transparency and clarity, especially when it comes to understanding the financial aspects of your therapy sessions. It's crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of your insurance coverage, fees, copayments, deductibles, and how these elements work together to support your mental health journey. Below, we delve into these topics, providing you with a clear roadmap to navigate the financial aspects of your therapy experience.
Explanation of Fees, Copayments, and Deductibles
At Head First Health, our goal is to provide exceptional mental health support at a clear and straightforward cost. Our initial consultation session is priced at $175, reflecting the in-depth nature of this first engagement. All subsequent sessions are set at a rate of $150, ensuring consistency and transparency in your financial planning.
Understanding Copayments and Deductibles
Your insurance plan may require copayments at each session or have a deductible that needs to be met annually. Copayments are fixed amounts that you pay directly at the time of service, while deductibles are the total amount you need to spend out of pocket before your insurance begins to cover a larger portion of your costs. We encourage you to reach out to your insurance provider to understand these details clearly, as they play a vital role in planning your therapy journey.
In-Network Benefits
Being 'in-network' means that Head First Health has an agreement with your insurance provider, often resulting in lower costs for you. We directly bill your insurance, and you are responsible for any copayments or deductible amounts.
Out-of-Network Benefits
If we are 'out-of-network' with your insurance plan, you may still receive therapy services, but the financial process differs. In this case, you would pay for your sessions upfront, and we provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits.
Guidance on What to Do if Insurance Information Changes
Life changes, and so can your insurance coverage. Should there be any changes in your insurance information or coverage, it's crucial to inform us promptly. Updating your insurance details helps avoid any interruptions in your therapy sessions and ensures your billing process remains seamless.
