I am considered an out-of-network provider and do not directly bill insurance companies for services. Due to the constraints imposed by insurance companies such as dictating treatment and limiting confidentiality, I have chosen to utilize private-pay in an effort to practice from the approach of how I best support my clients. Our work and your therapy journey are my top priority, and this includes developing a treatment approach that prioritizes our therapeutic relationship, without external restrictions.
While I do not bill insurance directly, your insurance plan might provide reimbursements for out-of-network therapy services. If you are planning to utilize your insurance plan for out-of-network benefits, I am able to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company.
A note about Medicaid: Ashley Berman Counseling is not credentialed with Medicaid and I am unable to accept Medicaid clients for private pay.

Under the law, health care providers are required to provide patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance with an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency item or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item, You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
