Insurance Reimbursement

Dr. Marlowe is an out-of-network mental health provider. Her office works with multiple insurance companies when clients have PPO’s and choose to see her as an out-of-network provider.

If you have a health insurance policy that covers mental health counseling, Dr. Marlowe’s office will provide whatever assistance we can in helping you to receive the benefits you are entitled. We will complete any required insurance forms that you provide, at no extra charge. You will submit the paperwork to your insurance company.

Learning about your Insurance Coverage

It is very important that you find out exactly what mental health services your insurance policy covers before beginning therapy. Read the section in your insurance coverage booklet that describes mental health services. If you have questions about the coverage, call your plan administrator.

Questions To Ask

  1. Does my policy cover out-of-network mental health counseling services with a therapist who holds a Ph.D. and is licensed in the State of Ohio as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)?
  2. If my policy provides coverage for an out-of-network mental health provider, what percentage is paid? What percentage is paid to in-network providers?
  3. Do I need to have a referral to mental health counseling in order to receive benefits from my policy?
  4. What is my deductible for mental health counseling and is there any difference in the deductible if I see an out-of-network provider?
  5. What type of information does my insurance company require when I file a mental health claim beyond? Do they require information beyond a mental health diagnosis, such as a treatment plan?
  6. About how long after I submit my mental health insurance billing statement and claim form should I expect to wait until I receive a reimbursement check?
  7. Request that your insurance company send to you a copy of both sides of any required forms they want our office to complete in order to file your claim.

Note: Because Dr. Marlowe is an out-of-network mental health provider, please understand that you, not your insurance company, are responsible for full payment of all counseling fees.
