Fees and Insurance

Self-Pay:

Individual Therapy Session: $150/50 minute session

Couple and Family Therapy Session: $175/50 minute session

Discernment Counseling: First appointment (2 hours) $350, Follow up appointments (90 minutes) $262.50

Before the first appointment, you will be asked to upload your credit/debit card information. You are required to keep an active card on file for the duration of your services. Your payment is to be paid in full by credit/debit card. Card will be charged at the beginning of each session or month depending on service. Any exception to this policy will be determined on a case-by-case basis and arrangements should be made in advance.

Utilization of health insurance only applies for individual therapy.

Couple and Family therapy with me is to treat the relationship as a whole. This type of therapy does not meet the criteria for medical necessity and therefore is not eligible to be covered by insurance. You must cover the cost ($175/50-55 minute session). Insurance requires one individual to meet the criteria for a DSM diagnosis and the content of the sessions to be in regards to treatment of the specified diagnosis.

Discernment Counseling is not therapeutic treatment of any diagnosable disorder; it is a time limited program to help couples on the brink of separation decide whether they want to make changes in their relationship. This is not a medical treatment and cannot be billed to insurance.

For individual therapy, I am In-Network with:

• Optum/United Healthcare
• Aetna

Due to restrictions and regulations, I do not see clients who have Medicaid, even if you wish to self pay. Please seek another provider. I can see clients who have Medicare only (no Medicaid) but have opted out of working with Medicare and thus nothing can be submitted for possible coverage and clients must cover the cost.

I do not work with any Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)

Call your insurance company and ask the following questions so that you fully understand your In-Network benefits:

• Do I have coverage for individual psychotherapy (CPT codes 90837 and 90834 only)?
• Is my preferred therapist Amanda (Mandy) Bowlin, NPI# 1407446958 in-network?
• What is my co-pay?
• Do I have a deductible I need to meet? (If you have a deductible to meet you will be covering the cost of each session as determined by insurance, usually $106-$150 until you meet your deductible)
• Do I need authorization to receive these services; how many sessions authorized?
• If wanting telehealth sessions: Are there any restrictions/differences in coverage on the use of telehealth for sessions?
