Some therapists at Sage Wellness are in-network with the Aetna and Cigna.
Other therapists at Sage Wellness are considered “out-of-network” providers since they do not work with any health insurance companies. If we are not in network with your insurance company, we are committed to supporting you in using your insurance to help offset the cost of counseling. Our licensed therapists can provide you with monthly medical receipts (called “superbills”) that include all of the required information needed to make it easier for you to receive out-of-network reimbursement.
The chart we have at the bottom of our “Meet the Team” page indicates pricing, which therapists are in-network with insurance, and which therapists may qualify for out-of-network reimbursement.
Some clients choose not to use their health insurance benefits for counseling due to not wanting a mental health diagnosis in their medical record, to protect their confidentiality, or to be in full charge of their treatment. Many insurance plans choose the length of treatment, number of sessions, or duration of treatment. By not using insurance, you and your counseling can decide what ideal treatment is for you, rather than it be decided for you by your insurance.

Tips for a Successful Telehealth Session
As of January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act was passed which gives you the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining the approximate cost of your treatment. Please note that since the frequency and duration of therapy is ultimately determined by you, and can change throughout the course of treatment, we have decided to provide you with a general estimate. While our clients often attend an average of 8 sessions, we are providing an estimate of what the cost should be if you attend therapy twice a month, for one year. It is our policy that you are charged at the conclusion of every scheduled session or service, so you will never be charged without your notice.
