⭐How
to use your Out of Network Benefit (“OON”) for Therapy with me
(and for your other licensed and board certified providers)⭐
⭐
It is your responsibility to
contact your insurance company and discover how your OON benefit will
reimburse you. If your plan has an OON benefit,
you can be reimbursed for treatment from licensed and board
certified clinical providers that are not "In Network" with
your insurance company. Unfortunately, most HMOs and any
version of the Commonwealth's MassHealth do not offer OON benefits. OUT OF NETWORK INSURANCE BENEFITS: HOW IT WORKS Clients submit fees to me at the
time of service with checks, PayPal and other
sources of payment. Once you have contacted your insurance carrier and know
if you have the OON benefit, you will be reimbursed either 80, 70 or 60
percent of your expenses based on your plan. Insurance statements from me are
usually delivered the first week of each month to reflect fees from the previous
month. These statements include specific
diagnostic information your insurance company will need to fulfill your OON
benefit. You then submit my statement
(along with your insurance company's OON form if there is one) and either
mail it in or submit it on their web site. ⭐
In order for me to prepare an OON
statement, please send me: 1. Name of Subscriber. 2. Your date of birth. 3. Your full address. 4. Insurance carrier name and your
account number. 5. Group # or name of company. Once I
have this data I can complete the statement for your
OON reimbursement. ⭐ If you do
not submit your statements digitally, please mail your OON packet via
CERTIFIED MAIL. This is essential, for the
insurance companies are notorious for saying "We did not receive your
claim." You will then receive reimbursement from your insurance company,
usually within 30 business days. Keep in mind you usually have 90
days to file from the date of service in order to be reimbursed. Some plans
allow up to a year. Please submit your claims in a timely manner to avoid
denial of payment after 90 days has passed. If your insurance carrier requires
the provider to fill out forms, please send to me. I will complete the
necessary paperwork as needed. Sessions are paid for at or before
the time of our session. I never work
on a credit system, there are no “Net 30” or “Net 60” terms. If you have any questions, please
contact your insurance carrier and they can clarify what is possible for you
concerning your OON benefit. You and I will discuss payment
options on the phone once you have decided you would like to work with
me. Onward and Upward, Lisa Wessan PS – You can watch me share about

into a standard 45 minute session, we will need the
extra time to learn the skills. Each
person is different – some can process their feelings and learn DBT in a shorter
session, some need more time. It usually becomes clear after a few sessions
if we can’t end at the 45 minute marker and/or go over 60 minutes trying to
complete the work. |
