It doesn’t! Identifying emotions is a helpful part of the therapeutic process but counseling is much more than ‘talking about your feelings.’ You also have thoughts and behaviors related to those feelings, and our behaviors impact our relationships and our lives - either positively or negatively.

What you share with DILTS Counseling & Consulting during sessions and through any associated client paperwork is kept private and confidential. Records cannot be released without your explicit and written consent with very few exceptions that include: if you are an active threat to yourself or others and/or if there is a subpoena signed by a judge (not a lawyer).

DILTS Counseling & Consulting is out-of-network with insurance and is a self-pay practice.

Paying out-of-pocket for therapy, as opposed to filing insurance, provides you with more flexibility and additional privacy without the need to meet insurance carrier requirements.

Clients are responsible for the full session fee at the time of session even if they plan so submit a superbill to their insurance carrier.

When seeking reimbursement, clients can contact their insurance carrier and submit what is called a superbill - which is an itemized receipt for services. Some plans have an out-of-network deductible, and reimbursement rates for out-of-network services vary by both insurance carrier and specific plans offered by the carrier.

Contact your insurance carrier to learn more about reimbursement options for out-of-network services, such as what percentage of the cost of sessions would be eligible for reimbursement paid back to you.

Some insurance carriers will reimburse members based on what the carrier considers to be a ‘flat market rate’ as opposed to a percentage of the cost that the patient pays themselves for services. The ‘flat market rate’ can also differ among insurance carriers. Most insurance carriers have online ‘member portals’ which include online processes for submitting requests for reimbursement for out-of-network services.

For more information on superbills and the process of requesting reimbursement from your insurance carrier, please use the contact form to send Kari a message.

Therapy is considered a medical expense, and an HSA/FSA (Health Savings Account/Flexible Spending Account) account can be used to pay for medical expenses. Some plans require a Letter of Medical Necessity (LOMN) for certain services. Please direct any questions about specific requirements to your HSA/FSA Administrator.

Kari offers morning appointments as early as 7:00 AM and also offers sessions on Saturday mornings.

There are traditional weekly appointments offered at the same time each week and Kari also offers 'floating' appointments for clients with regularly changing work schedules.
