          Out-of-Network Benefits
Psychotherapy services with Dr. Carpenter qualify for reimbursement under insurance plans as an out-of-network provider.   Depending on your mental health coverage, most plans (Blue Cross, CareFirst, Aetna, Tricare, and many others) allow you to apply for reimbursement using the billing statement that is provided to you on a monthly basis.
Please contact your insurance company directly to determine if you have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health services.  Initial questions to ask would be:
  • Do I have out-of-network benefits to see a psychologist?
  • If yes, what percentage do you cover?
  • Do I have a deductible and has it been met?
  • What CPT codes are reimbursable?  Do these codes require pre-authorization?
  • What forms do I need to submit to qualify for reimbursement?

Cancellation Policy

If you do not show up for your scheduled appointment, and you have not provided notification at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the scheduled session.
