Insurance Coverage, Expenses & Payment for Therapy

──
Our therapists are affiliated and covered with most insurance providers, and we strive to simplify the process by handling all billing procedures. To determine whether therapy services are covered, we recommend contacting your insurance provider and inquiring about the following:
 
  • What are my counseling and mental health benefits?
  • What is my deductible, and if so, what is the amount?
  • After the deductible is met, what is my copayment per session?
  • Is there a cap on the number of sessions allowed per year?
  • Does my plan encompass coverage for an out-of-network provider?
  • Is preliminary approval necessary from my primary care therapist?

Understanding your mental health insurance coverage is important, as uncovered fees become your responsibility if services aren't covered by your insurance. We are dedicated to simplifying your use of health insurance. When you come in for a session, you pay your deductible or copay, and our administrative team will handle the submission of session details to your insurance provider.

How to pay for Meridian therapy?
Any counseling charges not covered by insurance will be charged to your credit card on gathered by your counselor during your session. Payment methods accepted include cash, checks, debit cards, credit cards, and HSA cards (Certain counselors may employ alternative electronic payment methods). Our office manager will handle the submission of all sessions to your insurance provider on your behalf.

Meridian Counselor Costs:
The fees usually vary between $175 and $250 per session, contingent on the nature of psychological services offered. If you have inquiries regarding the charges, kindly get in touch with the therapist you intend to meet with for a comprehensive discussion about costs and services.

Canceling your therapy session:
Should you fail to attend your scheduled appointment or neglect to inform us of a cancellation with at least a 24-hour notice, you will be obligated to cover the entire cost of the booked counseling session (unless your therapist specifies an alternative arrangement). Missed appointments are not covered by insurance. We acknowledge that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and our policy has some flexibility, considering the reason and frequency, as there are events that individuals cannot control.
