+Do you accept insurance?
No, we do not accept insurance. While Growing Minds Psychology is not a participating provider in any insurance company plans (out-of-network), we will provide you the documentation for you to independently submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement should your child meet diagnostic criteria for a mental health diagnosis. The diagnoses will be provided following the initial evaluation. The superbills are provided once a week for therapy patients and following the parent feedback session for neuropsychological evaluation patients. While some insurance companies may provide reimbursement, there are no guarantees for reimbursement. If you are interested in seeking reimbursement for future services, we recommend speaking with your insurance company before scheduling appointments so that you can fully understand what the cost will be to you. You can share with your insurance company the provider’s NPI and the expected CPT codes to get an estimate of the services, if any, that may be reimbursed and at what percentage.

+No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
+What is included in the initial therapy intake?
The initial therapy intake includes a review of records, a thorough clinical interview with parents, and an observation session with the child. Following the initial intake, we hold a feedback meeting to plan treatment and share diagnostic impressions.
+Should I tell my child what we are really doing together?
Absolutely! We believe in transparency with children. They want to feel included in the evaluation and treatment process and by sharing our goals, we are building the trust that they need to face any anxieties, learning needs, or challenging behaviors.
+Can you help me if my child needs medication too?
While we cannot prescribe medication within Growing Minds Psychology, we work closely with a handful of psychiatrists in the area and can recommend a provider who best meets your family’s needs.
+Will you work with our school and other service providers?
We encourage collaboration across providers as an integral part of the evaluation and treatment process. To ensure privacy and confidentiality, you will have an option to sign a Release of Information for us to discuss details with others.
+Do you provide therapy / evaluation services in my state?
Our clinicians are licensed to provide therapy to patients who live in New York and Illinois. Evaluations can currently be provided in New York. If you live in another state or country and are interested in services, please reach out and we will see if there is a way to work together given your location.
