Insurance and Private Pay

Insurance: Our therapists are all credentialed to accept BCBS. We also accept other major insurances, but since credentialing with an insurance provider is individualized and specific to the therapist, it is important to confirm with your therapist and insurance provider that your insurance plan is accepted. ​Insurance coverage/policies can vary widely. Some plans require prior authorization and/or a referral. If your insurance does not cover your session you will be responsible for the remaining balance. Iron City Counseling requires that new intake appointments are scheduled 24 hours out so that we can verify and communicate your benefits prior to your session. This is a courtesy and sometimes insurance plans are misquoted. It is your responsibility to check with your provider to verify your benefits.

Private Pay: Each provider has their own private pay rate. Please reach out to your chosen provider to inquire their rates for sessions.

Medicare: Our therapists at Iron City Counseling have decided to Opt-Out of contracting with Medicare. This means that anyone who is a client at ICC who has Medicare must sign a private contract with ICC. This contract will state:

  • You understand that your therapist has opted-out of Medicare

  • You accept full responsibility for payment of the therapist

  • You understand that Medicare limits do not apply to what the therapist may charge for services

  • You agree not to submit claims to Medicare or ask your therapist to submit claims to Medicare

  • You have the right to seek treatment from another therapist who has not opted-out or Medicare and you are forced to enter into this private contract with the therapist who has opted-out

  • You understand that Medigap plans do not, and that other supplemental plans may elect not to, make payments for items and services not paid for by Medicare

  • You agree that this contract was not entered into during a time when you required emergency care services or urgent care services

CANCELLATION POLICY-all appointments must be canceled 48 business hours in advance or a cancellation fee will be applied
