Fees - which don't matter if you are covered by insurance because THEY decide how much they cover - how much is required to be written off and how much your % or copay is. ONLY THE INSURANCE COMPANY CAN GIVE YOU YOUR DEDUCTIBLE, COPAY, or COST SHARE INFORMATION.
I can be a preferred provider but your plan may require you to get an authorization from them or your primary care physician. If you don't follow the requirements of your policy and your insurance company does not pay - for any reason - you will be responsible for the entire bill and will be billed until collected.
Fees and Payment
Your insurance sets what is allowable with the remainder written off by preferred providers.
YOU are responsible to check and confirm your insurance benefits and to what degree I am covered or not.
WE DO NOT DO BENEFIT CHECKS.
It is your responsibility to know if you have a deductible and how much of your deductible is met or remains PRIOR TO THE FIRST APPOINTMENT.
We will collect your copay and towards your deductible if applicable AT EVERY APPOINTMENT.

Fees for services are expected at the time of your visit. Payment is made directly to Heidi Halsey MA LMFT - preferably at the beginning of the session. Payment can be made at the www.heidihalsey.com website with debit / credit / or HSA cards, or by mailing a check or at Venmo Heidi-Halsey (picture of two dogs). I will bill your insurance company or EAP company directly for services rendered, if I am a provider for that insurance. If I am not a provider for your insurance, you must pay for the session and I will provide you with a superbill that you submit to your insurance for reimbursement. If for some reason, there is an over-payment, it will be applied to your account or refunded. As a contracted provider for some insurance companies, the contracted amounts required will be reduced from the amounts charged and you will only be charged what is legally allowed per my contract with your insurance company IF I am a contracted provider for your insurance company. If for any reason other than our billing mistakes, you will be responsible for the fees should your insurance company not pay what was anticipated. Disputes arising from billing associated with your counseling services should be addressed with me in writing through mail or secure email through the scheduling site.
Reminders: Reminders will be automatically sent by the scheduling program to your email or phone via automated message or text per your choice in the scheduling program registration. Reminders go out the morning two days prior to the appointment. Occasionally, system issues with servers interfere with reminders going out but you still are expected to show. Reminders are a courtesy. You can always login the scheduling program and check your scheduled appointments to confirm it yourself. Not receiving a reminder does not waive your commitment to the appointment. Appointments scheduled after the scheduling program window of when reminders go out for your appointment means you will not receive a reminder for that appointment.
(This is a small business and I cannot absorb late cancellations or no-show appointments.)
EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS:
A REFERRAL OR AUTHORIZATION IS ALWAYS NECESSARY FOR AN EAP BENEFIT. YOU CAN GET THIS AUTHORIZATION THROUGH YOUR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT OR THROUGH A PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR BENEFIT'S CARD. This number is sometimes on the benefit card following MH/SA (mental health/substance abuse).
I am a preferred EAP provider for Claremont EAP, Mutual of Omaha EAP and others.
