• Why should I choose a provider who does not take insurance (out of network)?

    More personalized and attentive care

    Quality over cost saves money in the long-run

    Specialized expertise in your specific problem area

    Better alignment with your personal values, cultural background, or religious beliefs

    More availability and flexibility to fit your schedule

    Potential money back from insurance company depending on out-of-network benefits

    PPO/POS plans usually cover 60-80% of therapy expenses

    More freedom in type/amount of sessions

  • Can my insurance reimburse sessions?

    Dr. Denese does not take insurance but will send you a monthly bill (“superbill”) with a list of services and commonly used billing codes.

    You can send this to your insurance company for partial and/or full reimbursement, depending on your plan.

    If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, you might get some money back from your insurance company for session costs.

    PPO/POS plans usually cover 60-80% of therapy expenses.

    If you are unsure about your out of network coverage, Dr. Denese encourages you to ask your insurance company directly about therapy coverage.
