Rates and Insurance

Insurance

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Kannapolis Counseling Group therapists are in-network providers with most BlueCross BlueShield plans. If we do not specifically accept your insurance, we will provide you with a comprehensive billing statement that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.

Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
• What is my deductible and has it been met?
• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

If you need assistance verifying your benefits we are happy to help.

Advantages of Paying Privately

Why should I choose to pay for therapy myself?

There are both advantages and drawbacks of out-of-pocket payment and to using private insurance. Obviously, the biggest drawback of out-of-pocket pay is that it is an immediate out-of-pocket expense. However, there are advantages of private pay that may make the expense worth considering.

Services without Hindrances, Pressure or Stigma:

Most insurance providers require a mental health diagnosis in order for therapy to be covered. When clients pay out-of-pocket, there is no requirement of a mental health diagnosis for treatment. Additionally, your session may be tax deductible.

Confidentiality and Privacy

Clients who pay out of pocket are guaranteed that the only people who know any of the details of therapy are themselves and their therapist.  Aside from normal limits to confidentiality, therapy is completely confidential, without any third party being privy to information exchanged in session.

Finding the Right Therapist

Having a choice is an important factor when it comes to finding someone you trust with your personal concerns. You may, for instance, prefer seeing someone who was personally recommended to you. When you use your insurance plan, your options are usually limited to therapists within your insurance provider's  network.
