Insurance & Reimbursement
✔ Out-of-Network Benefits
Dancing Dialogue operates as an out-of-network provider.
This model allows us to focus entirely on your healing without constraints from insurance company requirements that can limit treatment approaches, session frequency, or the specialized methods that make our work unique.
Many clients find they can receive partial or substantial reimbursement through their out-of-network mental health benefits. The actual reimbursement amount varies based on your specific insurance plan, deductible, and coverage details.
✔ How Out-of-Network Benefits Work
After each session, we provide you with a detailed superbill containing all the information your insurance company requires for reimbursement. This document includes:
Provider credentials and license numbers
CPT codes for services rendered
Diagnosis codes
Date and length of service
Payment information
You submit this superbill directly to your insurance company, and they reimburse you according to your plan's out-of-network mental health benefits. Many clients receive reimbursement ranging from 50% to 80% of session fees, though this varies significantly by plan.
Checking Your Benefits
Before beginning therapy, we encourage you to contact your insurance company and ask these specific questions:
What are my out-of-network mental health benefits for outpatient therapy?
What is my out-of-network deductible, and have I met it this year?
What percentage does my plan reimburse for out-of-network mental health services?
Is there a session limit for out-of-network outpatient therapy?
Do I need pre-authorization for out-of-network mental health services?
Does my plan cover creative arts therapy or dance/movement therapy with licensed providers?
Understanding your benefits in advance helps you plan for the financial aspects of your care with confidence and clarity.
Payment Options
Accepted Payment Methods
We accept payment by credit card, debit card, HSA/FSA cards, check, and cash. Payment is due at the time of service unless alternative arrangements have been made in advance.
Health Savings Accounts & Flexible Spending Accounts
Therapy services typically qualify for HSA and FSA reimbursement. These accounts allow you to use pre-tax dollars for healthcare expenses, effectively reducing the cost of your care. Check with your account administrator to confirm eligibility and reimbursement procedures.
Payment Plans
We understand that investing in specialized care represents a significant commitment. If you're concerned about managing fees, please discuss this with your therapist or our office administrator. We want financial considerations to support rather than hinder your healing journey.
Good Faith Estimate
Under federal law, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before beginning treatment. This estimate helps you understand the anticipated cost of therapy services.
Your Good Faith Estimate will include:
Expected frequency of sessions
Estimated duration of treatment
Anticipated total costs based on your treatment plan
Please note that actual costs may differ from the estimate if your treatment needs change, session frequency adjusts, or you engage in services not originally anticipated. We'll discuss any significant changes to your treatment plan before they affect your costs.
If you'd like to receive a Good Faith Estimate before beginning services, please request one during your initial consultation or contact our office.
Financial Policies
Cancellation Policy
We require 24 hours advance notice for cancellations or rescheduling.
Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, or missed sessions without notification, will be charged the full session fee. Insurance companies do not reimburse for missed appointments.
We understand that unexpected circumstances arise. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule. This allows us to offer your time to another client who needs support.
Late Arrival
Sessions begin at the scheduled time. If you arrive late, we'll use the remaining time available, though the full session fee applies. This protects the schedule and commitments we've made to other clients.
Confidentiality & Billing
All billing information remains confidential and is handled with the same care as your clinical information. Superbills are provided directly to you rather than sent to insurance companies, giving you complete control over what information, if any, is shared with your insurer.
