At Lotus Mind and Soul Therapy we your take your privacy very seriously. Therefore, at this time we do not take insurance for a variety of reasons including keeping your personal information private. We have found that insurance companies have begun asking more and more questions regarding specifics of therapy that we find to be intrusive. Additionally, insurance carriers generally require a diagnosis in order to approve treatment. Whether or not a diagnosis is appropriate, we have worked with a large number of patients who would prefer not have a diagnosis attached to their medical records.
We want you to get the help and attention you deserve without losing ANY confidentiality. In fact, within our practice we keep patient files protected even from other therapists. If you have any questions about our privacy and confidentiality standards, we are happy to answer.
Although we believe deeply in lowering the stigma of seeking therapy - we also know that privacy is often a concern.
Why can't we let patients choose if they want to use insurance or not? It is not accepted by most insurance carriers to accept private pay from some patients and to utilize insurance reimbursement from others.
For all of these reasons, we do not communicate directly with insurance providers. However, we understand the cost of therapy can be an unexpected and a very real expense. Therefore, you may be able to retrieve some of the expense through a possible reimbursement directly from your insurance carrier.
POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT: At the end of each month we will issue a statement which you can choose to submit to your insurance for reimbursement of services*. Reimbursement percentages vary depending on insurance carrier.
We are out-of-network for all carriers. Therefore the reimbursement rate is usually between 60-80% of the cost of therapy.
