Abound Psychological Services

Yes. Abound Psychological Services, PLLC is in-network with Aetna and Blue Cross & Blue Shield (and all of its affiliates). Insurance can be utilized for therapy sessions and for certain psychological evaluations when medical necessity is clearly documented. It is important to understand that insurance does not cover: Court-ordered psychological evaluations Forensic or legal evaluations Evaluations requested by an attorney or the court Any evaluation that is not strictly for medical or clinical diagnostic purposes Court-ordered and legal evaluations are outside the scope of health insurance because they are requested for legal purposes rather than for diagnosis or treatment. These evaluations must be billed directly to the client or referring party. For clinical psychological evaluations (non-legal), insurance may cover a portion of the service, though coverage is not guaranteed. Insurance companies typically require: A clear mental health-related reason for testing Documentation demonstrating why testing is medically necessary A diagnosis that justifies the testing Prior authorization for some plans Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. We are not party to that contract. As a courtesy, our office provides certain services including verification of your in-network benefits and a pre-treatment estimate. You will be expected to pay the full allowable amount your insurance lists for us at the time of service. This amount varies per insurance and policy. It is impossible for us to know and track every aspect of your insurance. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance provider to verify potential benefits, deductibles, and out-of-network responsibilities. If you have questions regarding the pre-treatment estimate or fees for service, it is your responsibility to have these answered prior to treatment to avoid any confusion. For all other insurances that we are out of network with, you will be required to pay the private pay rate in full. We will provide a receipt of services upon request that you may submit to your insurance company. You may need prior approval for mental health services, or you may not. It is recommended that you call your insurance company to verify your out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health services. Regardless of any insurance status, any balance is your responsibility. You are responsible for any and all professional services rendered.
