JL Therapy does NOT accept insurance for several valid reasons. It simplifies your experience. JL therapy is considered an out-of-network provider and accepts self-pay only. The majority of clients with insurance can be eligible for reimbursement or a portion of the fees from their insurance company.

Upon request, we can provide a detailed invoice or "superbill" for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

What does this mean for you?

By NOT accepting insurance we can ensure the work we do together stays between JL Therapy and you. It means that your treatment can be paced in ways that are governed by your needs and timeline - not by the insurance company’s needs or timeline. There is no need for referrals or multiple administrative appointments to figure out coverage, billing or insurance company’s complex processes.

The benefit of no insurance also means not having to provide a written diagnosis from your primary care physician to seek treatment.

This simplifies your experience.

To determine if you will be reimbursed for JL Therapy services by your insurance, the first thing you should do is contact them directly. Make sure to get everything in writing or have a link to a policy reference to substantiate your claim for reimbursement.

Further questions to ask your insurance company.

• How much does my plan reimburse for an out-of-network provider?

• What percentage of the fee will I be reimbursed?

• How will I be reimbursed?

• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

• Are there any restrictions regarding the type of therapy or the practitioner’s credentials?

• Are there any other restrictions I should know about, or any other questions I should be asking?

Upon request I can provide you with a reimbursement document/’superbill’ to submit to your insurance company. It is your responsibility to check with your insurance provider about the dynamics to accepting an out-of-network provider.
