Insurance and Payment Information
​
At West Side Psychotherapy, we maintain a commitment to providing the highest quality care without the constraints of insurance networks. Our approach allows us to prioritize your treatment needs above all else.
​
​
Our Commitment to You
​
During your initial consultation, our clinicians will provide immediate, actionable feedback to begin your healing journey. We develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and carefully match you with a therapist whose expertise and approach align with your situation.
​
​
Insurance Philosophy
​
We have made the deliberate decision to remain outside insurance networks to:
​
-
Protect your privacy: By operating outside insurance networks, we are not obligated to disclose detailed clinical information to insurance companies
-
Ensure clinical autonomy: Treatment decisions are based solely on your therapeutic needs, not on insurance company requirements or limitations
-
Provide consistent, high-quality care: Our approach allows us to maintain longer sessions and appropriate treatment frequency without external restrictions
​
​
Payment and Reimbursement
​
We work diligently to maximize your insurance benefits while maintaining our standard of care:
​
-
For most insurance plans, we can bill and receive payment directly as an out-of-network provider
-
For plans that do not offer direct payment to our practice, we submit claims weekly on your behalf
-
Our dedicated insurance specialist manages all claim follow-up, ensuring you receive entitled reimbursements
-
We provide full support for resolving any insurance-related questions or concerns
-
Session fees range from $250-$500, reflecting our therapists' advanced training and expertise
​
​
Client Assurance
​
We stand behind our billing processes—clients are not financially responsible for denied claims when submitted through our practice. This policy reflects our confidence in our billing expertise and our commitment to transparent financial practices.
