Health Insurances 101 and Art Therapy

Hello Everyone:

Have you been curious about Art Therapy, but paying for the sessions has been holding you back?  Well I am happy to announce that as of 7/17/2013, I am currently accepting the following health insurance--Cigna.  I am able to see Cigna client's on HMO and Employer Product.  Please note that until my credentialing process is complete with Cigna, I am not able to see Cigna client's on PPO and Open Access Plus.

Some health insurances may pay for your Art Therapy sessions as an out of network mental health service.  Each health insurance is different, so you should call them and ask them about your mental health benefits.  If you have no idea what to ask when you call them, here are some starter questions:

1. Do they cover outpatient mental health psychotherapy sessions?
   
2. If yes to #1, how many sessions? 
3. Are you allowed to see an "out of network" provider?  If so, will they reimburse for psychotherapy provided by a mental health practitioner with the LCAT license?
4. If yes to #3, what percentage of the session cost do they reimburse you?
5. If yes to #3, do you have to meet a deductible before they reimburse you for the sessions?

If you have any questions about the information above, please call or email me.  

I look forward to the day where Art Therapy will be accessible to all!

Best wishes,
Diana

P.S. I also offer a sliding scale, so if you really want to try Art Therapy do not hesitate in calling or emailing me for a sample session today!
