Common questions about therapy fees and insurance.
Does insurance verification guarantee coverage?
No. Verification provides an estimate based on available information. Your insurance company makes the final decision regarding coverage and payment responsibility.
Can I choose self pay instead of using insurance?
Yes. Clients may choose private pay even if they have insurance coverage.
What if I have a deductible?
If your deductible has not been met, your insurance company may apply the contracted session rate toward your deductible before benefits begin.
Are you in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois HMO?
No. Ashé Counseling and Coaching is not in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois HMO plans.
