therapy session costs
For those uninsured or underinsured, we offer an Equity Payment Scale for sessions with our Master’s Level Counseling Interns. Pay what you can between $40-$85 per session.
PAYMENT TYPES & INSURANCE
what payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express, as well as payment via HSA, HRA, and Flex Medical Accounts. Payment must be made at time of service.
We also accept payment via the VEST EAP program, and are in-network with limited insurance companies (see below). Please reach out to us if you are eligible for sessions through your EAP or insurance.
Do you accept MY insurance?
Green Mountain Counseling is in-network with United HealthCare, as well as for individuals with Health First Colorado Medicaid plans.
Please reach out if you are unsure if we accept your insurance.
can i be reimbursed by my insurance company?
Some insurance companies allow for out-of-network reimbursement. After paying out of pocket for your therapy session, you would personally send a superbill (itemized bill) to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please note that we are unable to provide a superbill for any services provided by our counseling interns, nor do we contact any insurance directly concerning superbills or reimbursement.
if i have insurance, why would i consider paying out of pocket?
While you're free to go through your insurance (or not) for therapy, we want you to make an informed decision.
Insurance companies will only pay for care they determine is “medically necessary”. To establish this, a therapist must submit a diagnosis and prove that this diagnosis is significantly impairing the way you function. This information will be listed on your permanent medical record.
Even if you're struggling significantly, you might not meet criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). And because the DSM includes no diagnostic codes for couples, therapy with you and your partner is unlikely to be covered by insurance.
If you choose to pursue coverage and your insurance allows for you to see out-of-network providers, Green Mountain Counseling can provide a receipt for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. We're also glad to consult with you to determine whether submitting to insurance is the best option for you.
NEUROFEEDBACK SESSION COSTS
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Session Costs
Click here to learn more about our Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy offerings.
The first KAP dosing session takes about 3-4 hours total, and costs $600. Each follow-up session lasts 2.5-3 hours, and costs $450. We recommend 5-6 sessions total, either every week or every other, for best therapeutic outcomes.
Currently, KAP sessions are only available for out of pocket payment; we hope to implement insurance options in the future but currently cannot accept insurance payment for KAP.
