Payment & Insurance
Regardless of whether you seek insurance reimbursement, payment for each session is due at the time of service, unless other arrangements have been made in advance.
Psychotherapy Fees for the Practice of Timothy Q. Elliott MSW LLC
$210 for each 50-minute session
We accept payment via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), personal check, or cash.
Out-of-Network Insurance Information
Our practice is considered out-of-network with all insurance companies, which means we do not bill insurance directly. However, many clients receive partial reimbursement for therapy through their out-of-network benefits. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and varies by plan.
Procedure Codes for Insurance Reimbursement
We provide a detailed, coded invoice (often called a "superbill") at the end of each month that you can submit to your insurance company. This document includes the necessary CPT (procedure) codes most insurers require when processing claims:
-
90791 – Initial intake session
-
90837 – Individual therapy session
-
90846 – Parent or caregiver session (without the client present)
-
90847 – Family therapy session (with the client present)
To better understand your coverage, we recommend calling your insurance provider before starting therapy. Helpful questions to ask include:
-
What are my benefits for out-of-network mental health services?
-
What percentage of each session is reimbursed?
-
How many sessions are covered per year?
-
What is my out-of-network deductible, and has it been met?
Diagnosis Requirements
Submitting to insurance requires a mental health diagnosis, which will become part of your permanent insurance record.
