Check If Your Insurance Reimburses Therapy Sessions
If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be able to get reimbursed for a portion of your therapy costs at Botaitis Therapy Group. While we’re not in-network with insurance companies, we can provide a superbill upon request, which you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Keep in mind that reimbursement isn’t guaranteed—it depends on your plan’s coverage.
Using out-of-network benefits gives you the freedom to choose a therapist who’s the right fit for you, rather than being limited to in-network providers.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, we have provided a tool to simplify this process and get your answers quickly.
