Insurance & Out-Of-Network Reimbursement
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I’m not in-network with any insurance companies. However, if your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. To make this process easier, I use a secure system that helps minimize paperwork, streamline claims, and simplify your payments—so you can focus on your growth, not your billing. You can contact us to check your benefits for you.
-
Before starting therapy, contact your insurance provider and ask the following questions:
“Does my plan cover out-of-network mental health services, including outpatient psychotherapy and telehealth?”
“Do I have an out-of-network deductible? If so, how much has been met?”
“What is the allowed amount and reimbursement rate for CPT code 90837 (individual therapy, 53+ minutes)?”
Once you’ve confirmed your benefits, we’ll guide you through the appropriate billing path—either automatic claim processing or superbills.
We’re also happy to offer a complimentary benefits check by contacting your insurance provider to obtain an estimate of your out-of-network mental health coverage. To do this, we’ll need you to provide your insurance information. While we are glad to assist, we encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm the estimate—especially regarding telehealth services—as this estimate is not a guarantee of coverage.
-
Rather than paying the full session fee up front and waiting for reimbursement, you’ll only be charged what you actually owe based on your insurance plan (e.g., your deductible, coinsurance, or copay). This makes therapy more predictable and financially manageable.
Please note: I cannot accept payment for sessions that have not yet taken place.
-
If your insurance allows, claims will be submitted on your behalf—no paperwork, portals, or phone calls required. You’ll receive timely updates on what’s covered, what’s applied to your deductible, and what you owe. It’s a stress-free way to access your out-of-network benefits without navigating it alone.
-
If your insurance provider requires you to submit claims yourself, we will provide a superbill—an official, itemized document that includes all the information your insurance company needs to process reimbursement.
Each superbill includes:
Your name, birthdate, and insurance details
My practice and license information
Dates of each session
CPT code (typically 90837 for 53+ minute sessions)
Diagnosis code (required for reimbursement)
Place of service code (telehealth = 10)
Fee charged and total paid
How to Use It:
Each month, you’ll receive a secure email via your Simple Practice portal with your superbill(s) for the previous month.
Review the superbill to ensure all details are accurate.
Submit it to your insurance provider following their instructions (online portal, fax, or mail).
Keep a copy for your records and follow up with your insurer as needed.
-
Once you're scheduled, you’ll receive a welcome email from Simple Practice titled “Client Portal.” This secure portal contains all intake forms that must be completed before your first session.
If you have trouble accessing your portal, contact hello@cushionmentalhealth.com and we’ll help you get set up.

If your insurance or payment information changes, please notify us right away to avoid any billing disruptions. You can update your information by emailing hello@cushionmentalhealth.com.
