Calamansi Counseling is an out-of-network provider which means we do not accept insurance. Although we do not take insurance, most of our clients are able to use their out-of-network benefits, in which they receive partial or full reimbursement for session costs through their insurance.

KEY INFORMATION:

• Clients are responsible for paying the full cost of their therapy session on the day of service.

• Calamansi Counseling does not bill, preauthorize, or interact with insurance companies in any capacity.

• We will provide you with a “superbill” if requested, within 48 hours after your session.

• If you plan on independently pursuing reimbursement through your insurance, you would submit the superbill to your insurance company. Once they process your claim, if eligible, you will receive a reimbursement from your insurance company. The reimbursement amount depends on your specific plan, but clients have reported anywhere between 50%-100% reimbursement of their session costs.

Visit our support section where you will find resources on financial assistance for therapy.

Calamansi Counseling also provides avenues for community care to make our services more accessible, beyond the 1:1 therapy room. Please visit our events page for updates on community gatherings, workshops, support groups, and more.

We offer a few time-limited sliding scale/reduced fee spots to clients experiencing financial hardship related to job loss or job insecurity.

Existing clients may request sliding scale options during session or by email. If sliding scale spots are available, the sliding scale agreement will be sent via client portal.

Sliding scale is not available for couple/ relationship sessions. Calamansi Counseling does not provide pro bono therapy, as our pro bono offering is done through our work with the Liberation Line.

If you are planning on independently pursuing reimbursement with your insurance company, here are some questions to consider asking your insurance provider:

• Does my plan have out-of-network benefits?

• What percentage am I reimbursed for routine out-of-network behavioral health care (i.e. what is the percentage I will be reimbursed of my therapist’s fee?)

• Do I have a deductible to meet?

• What is the process for submitting a reimbursement claim once I receive a superbill from my therapist?

• IMPORTANT: Since there is likely a shortage of multicultural and Asian/Arab American therapists in-network with insurance, you can put in a request for an “out-of-network benefit exception” with your insurance company (the clinical reason being “cultural match/fit”). If your insurance cannot prove they have a provider who is in-network, culturally competent, and in alignment with your specific needs, they are responsible to reimburse for out-of-network care.

All clients are required to have a credit or debit card on file (HSA & FSA accepted) which is stored in your HIPAA-compliant client portal and will automatically be charged on the day of your session and/or kept on file in the event of any late cancellations. Full payment is due on the day of service.
