At High Expectations Counseling,fees are tailored to specific services and the length of service. Please note that we do not rush our clients sessions. Counseling is a journey and needs to end in a natural state where you as the client walk away with insight into your concerns or issues that led you to seek therapy. 

Ideally sessions that are longer allow you to get more out of therapy. Many find that 60 minutes goes by quickly. This is why we offer our clients multiple options. Clients have the choice to pick from a 45/60/75/90 min session for individual and couples therapy. Many may find the package deals below ideal for their therapeutic needs and the most economical. 

When you buy a prepaid 5 package set of sessions it helps you to stay committed to the process of therapy. On days you may not want to go, you will hold yourself accountable because you made the commitment to do the work.

Aetna, Cigna, United and some Florida Blue plans ( In-Network Through Headway) All other Insurance Companies ( Out-of- Network) 

Out-of-network refers to you paying out of pocket for your psychotherapy/counseling services. Since all insurance companies varies, some may or may not reimburse you for your out of pocket expenses. 

Blue Shield does not require a prior authorization for services and will work with you to easily get reimbursed. For all other insurance companies you must call prior to therapy and get authorization.

If you want to get reimbursed for out-of-network coverage then please review your policy and as a guide you may want to ask the following when speaking to the insurance company. 

• Is mental health services part of my insurance benefit plan? 
• How much is my deductible, if any? Have I met my deductible? 
• What steps do I take to get reimbursement for sessions with a provider that is out-of-network? • Am I limited to how many sessions per the calendar year I can use? If yes, what is my limit? 
• Do I need to obtain written approval from my primary care physician for services to be covered? 

Take note: Depending on your health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, the therapy services could be covered in full or in part. Please contact your insurance provider to determine how your plan will compensate you for therapeutic services

Benefits Of Paying Privately 

Benefits of Forgoing Insurance and Paying Privately: 

• Finding the right fit– Therapists who participate in insurance panels are accepted according to the insurance company’s discretion of the provider’s location, rates, and specialty. Therefore, your access to quality mental health is limited by insurance companies in addition to you finding a good fit to assist you with your mental health needs. 

• Your treatment control– Most insurance companies have limits on the treatment type, session frequency, and session quantity. Some insurance companies have certain criteria you must meet for the insurance companies to continue with coverage for your sessions. 
• Confidentiality – Insurance companies require your personal information and the therapist to provide a mental health diagnosis for them to provide payment or reimbursement for your therapeutic sessions. At your first appointment, you will sign a form that gives your therapist permission to communicate this information to your insurance company. Your insurance company can also request other information from your therapist (i.e session notes, initial assessment, etc) as needed. 

Please note that your therapeutic information is stored in your record; therefore, the information may be used by the insurance companies to determine your insurance rates and/or eligibility. 

Other agencies such as the armed forces, DMV, life insurance companies, etc may also use this information to determine qualification factors. If you are considering counseling for your minors, please keep this in mind.
