Do you accept my insurance?
Dr. Ariel is an out of network provider for all insurance companies. This means that you would pay for your care with Dr. Ariel out of pocket. Payment is due at the time of service. Upon request, we can provide you with a superbill for your sessions that you may use to seek reimbursement directly from your insurance company. However, please note that insurance companies determine client coverage/reimbursement rates for out of network providers. Reimbursement can range from 0-100% and is not guarenteed. If you are interested in seeking reimbursement, please contact the phone number on the back of your insurance card to inquire about your out of network mental health benefits. Note for non-IL residents: Your plan may not cover services from out-of-area providers. If your insurance or other managed care provider does not cover services from out-of-area providers, you will be solely financially responsible for your service fees. Please contact your insurance company prior to your first appointment in order to determine whether your sessions will be eligible for reimbursement.
Additionally, some clients prefer not to utilize their insurance at all and self-pay without the desire for insurance reimbursement, due to personal desire to maintain the privacy of their treatment records and diagnoses. If you choose to opt-out of insurance coverage and obtain care with Dr. Ariel without seeking reimbursement from your insurance, Dr. Ariel will provide you with a Good Faith Estimate of your services for your financial planning.
How do I pay for my session?
Full payment is due at the time of service. We accept payment through most major credit/debit cards and HSA/FSA card.
