Insurance

Ms. Yost is an out-of-network provider, which means clients are responsible for payment in full at the time of each session. After your appointment, you will receive an itemized invoice (also known as a “superbill”) that you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

Please note that Ms. Yost does not participate directly with managed care plans. She believes decisions about the length and necessity of therapy should be made collaboratively between therapist and client—guided by your personal progress and needs—rather than predetermined by insurance companies.

Many insurance providers reimburse a significant portion of fees for out-of-network mental health services, sometimes up to 80%. Coverage varies, so it is recommended that you contact your insurance company directly to confirm your benefits. When inquiring, please provide the CPT codes 90834-GT and 90837-GT, which are commonly used for virtual therapy sessions.

This process ensures transparency while allowing you to receive the care you need without restrictions placed by managed care.

Here are some questions to ask your health insurance provider:

  1. What are my out-of-network, mental health insurance benefits?
  2. What is my deductible and has it been met?
  3. How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
  4. What is the coverage amount per therapy session? (It is usually expressed as a percentage, like 80% or a flat rate, like $80.)
  5. Is preauthorization (e.g. preapproval, precertification) required from my insurance company or primary care physician?
