Your per-session cost is determined by your insurance plan. This may include a copay, coinsurance, or deductible, depending on your specific benefits. We’ll verify your coverage and provide an estimate before your first appointment. Payment (or your insurance copay/coinsurance) is due at the time of service.
A credit card on file is required for all clients. We accept all major credit cards, FSA, and HSA cards.You can view invoices, statements, and superbills anytime in your SimplePractice Client Portal.
Out-of-Network & Superbills
If your therapist is not in-network with your plan, you can still receive care at Azalea by paying out-of-pocket.
You may request a superbill (detailed receipt) through your client portal to submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Each superbill includes all information required for reimbursement, including CPT codes, diagnosis, provider NPI, and date of service.
Reimbursement rates vary by insurance plan.
Good Faith Estimate (No Surprises Act)
If you are not using insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the total expected cost of your care before you receive services.
If your final bill is $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it.
