Billing for Marriage/Couples Counseling
We accept self-pay and Insurance plans (accepts Insurance for MD Residents ONLY) for individual and family therapy. We do not accept insurance for Marriage/Couples therapy.
Insurance companies require that, through the course of treatment, we are treating one family member’s mental health diagnosis. A mental health diagnosis is required for us to bill the insurance company. When working with relationship concerns, we are treating the relationship and can only write notes reflecting that approach. We cannot say we are treating one member’s mental health when the concern is relational. There are rare exceptions where the focus is specifically one member of the couple’s mental health needs and couple’s therapy is an adjunct to that person’s individual therapy.
We can provide the forms necessary for Out-of-Network reimbursement if your insurance plan has this benefit. In addition, most HSA’s can be used to cover costs.

Exceptions include: Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse, for which we are required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
