Frequently Asked Questions

 Do You Take Insurance?

Curiosity Rising does not accept insurance. The benefits to private pay are numerous, with the primary benefits being a greater level of privacy and control over your treatment. When a therapy session is billed through insurance, the insurance company often requires detailed documentation about your mental health including a diagnosis and updates regarding your progress. Some clients I work with do not meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis and some would prefer to have the details of their mental health treatment separate from their insurance/medical record. Additionally, insurance companies often limit the number of sessions they will pay for and restrict the therapeutic techniques which can be utilized during the treatment process.

What if I’m Still Interested in Using My Insurance?

Curiosity Rising is considered an Out of Network (OON) provider, I am able to provide you with a monthly Superbill which is a receipt for the payments you have made for therapy sessions. You may be able to submit this document to your insurance company for partial reimbursement of therapy services. Please contact your insurance company directly for information regarding your eligibility and reimbursement rates. Please be aware that a mental health diagnosis is required to be provided to your insurance company for reimbursement if you utilize this option.

What Can I Expect Starting Therapy?

I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to learn a bit about why you are seeking therapy and see if it feels like a good fit. The first session is about getting comfortable with the process. You’ll be able to tell me a little more about what you hope to gain from therapy as well as your expectations about the therapeutic process. In the beginning, weekly sessions are common. Frequency is always tailored to individual needs. You can learn more about starting therapy here.

NO SURPRISES ACT:
In compliance with the No Surprises Act that went into effect January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers are required to notify clients of their Federal rights and protections against “surprise billing.” This Act requires that we notify you of your federally protected rights to receive a notification when services are rendered by an out-of-network provider, if a client is uninsured or if a client elects not to use their insurance. Additionally, we are required to provide you with a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of services upon request and/or prior to your first scheduled appointment. Although it is difficult to determine the true length of treatment for mental healthcare, as each client has a right to decide how long they would like to participate in mental healthcare, a Good Faith Estimate will be provided and reassessed as needed. Your Rights Under This New Act: 1. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 2. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 3. Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. 4. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 5. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises, or call 1-800-985-3059.
