💳 Tool of the Week: The Insurance Reality Check
Financial surprises shouldn't be part of your healing process. Before you sit down for your first session, having a clear picture of your coverage can take the "what ifs" off the table.
Grab your insurance card and ask these three vital questions:
1️⃣ What is my deductible, and how much have I met? This is the most important number. It tells you your true out-of-pocket cost before your insurance starts "picking up the tab."
2️⃣ What is the contracted session rate, and what will I actually pay? Don't settle for estimates! Ask for the specific dollar amount of your co-pay or co-insurance so you can budget accurately.
3️⃣ Are there alternative options? If your insurance isn't a great fit, ask about "Sliding Scale" rates for self-pay or out-of-network benefits. You might have more flexibility than you think!
Knowledge is power. When you understand the costs upfront, you can focus entirely on your wellness instead of your wallet. 🧠💪
