Insurance
At this time, IHT is a private pay practice. However; depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.
We recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
- Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
- Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
- Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
- Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
Wait, Why Doesn’t IHT Take Insurance?
By operating a 100% private pay practice, IHT is able to provide you more complete privacy and confidentiality, allowing you control over how your personal information is shared. Insurance companies require any healthcare provider to assign a diagnosis code justifying any service provided. When a therapist/counselor provides a mental health diagnosis (ex. Depression, Anxiety Disorder, Substance Use Disorder, etc.) in order to seek reimbursement, that diagnosis becomes part of your medical history records. This can have unintended effects later on if this information is shared, either intentionally (medical history review for employment, insurance, etc.) or unintentionally (HIPPA violations, insurance database hacking, etc.).
Payment
We accept cash, check, PayPal, and all major credit cards as forms of payment. We also accept payment directly via this website and in your client portal. Payment is due at the time of service and is collected at the start of session.
Cancellation Policy
To avoid a $100 no show or late cancellation fee, if you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand.
