Insurance

I am an in-network provider for Lyra, Premera Blue Cross, Lifewise, Aetna, and First Choice Health/Kaiser PPO. However, you should always call your insurance company and check coverage for your specific plan. For clients with other insurance plans, you can pay me directly and then I can provide you with a “superbill” that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement directly from them. The amount reimbursed varies by individual and insurance company.

Here are some questions to ask your insurance company when you call to learn about your coverage:

  • Is Dr. Natalie Remanier at Emerald City Psychology (NPI #: 1558913608) an in or out of network provider?

  • If in network:

    • What will my co-pay/co-insurance be per therapy session? (You will be responsible for this amount.)

    • How much is my deductible? Has it been met this year?

    • What are my estimated costs for the following service codes?

      • Therapy: 90791, 90837, 90834

      • Testing: 90791, 96130, 96131, 96132, 96133, 96136, 96137, 96138, 96139

  • If out of network:

    • Do I have coverage for outpatient mental health services when I see an out-of-network provider?

    • Do I have a separate out of network deductible? Has it been met this year?

    • How do I submit claim forms for reimbursement from an out-of-network provider?

    • What are my estimated costs for the following service codes?

      • Therapy: 90791, 90837, 90834

      • Testing: 90791, 96130, 96131, 96132, 96133, 96136, 96137, 96138, 96139

Fees

Below are the rates I charge for services. These are my standard fees, whether you are paying out of pocket, or planning to submit claims for reimbursement out of network.

  • Psychological assessment, per hour: $250

  • 50 minute individual therapy session: $200

  • Intake session: $230

  • 15 minute phone consultation: free

Policies

  • For any fees incurred, I accept cash, check, or credit card.

  • You may pay (including co-pays) at the time of the visit, or I can bill you weekly. I ask new clients to provide a card to keep on file, and will charge any remaining balances at the end of each week.

  • If your insurance company will not pay for a service, you are responsible for the cost — hence the importance of communicating with your insurance company beforehand.

  • My out-of-pocket fees may increase, concordant with my experience and credentials.

  • Testing:

    • You will be asked for a $500 deposit at the time of scheduling your intake appointment. I will bill you or your insurance, if in network, weekly throughout testing, and only charge you if/when charges exceed this $500 deposit. If your total cost of testing is less than $500, you will be refunded this deposit within two weeks of our final feedback session.

  • Therapy:

    • If you cancel an appointment with less than 72 hours notice, you will be expected to pay a $100 fee, unless there is a truly unavoidable event or emergency.
