Fees & Policies
Wellness Associates is an out-of-network provider, which means we bill clients directly rather than accepting insurance. We offer an income-based sliding scale fee structure so that cost is not a barrier to care — please call us at
914-428-4745 to discuss fees based on your financial situation.
Our fees
Because we are an out-of-network provider, clients are billed directly at the time of service. Please call us at 914-428-4745 to have a confidential conversation about our fees. We're happy to answer any questions about our rates before your first appointment.
Sliding scale
We never want cost to be a barrier to getting the care you deserve. A sliding scale fee may be available for those who qualify based on income — call us to talk through what works for you: 914-428-4745. Rates are determined on a case-by-case basis.
Out-of-network benefits
While we do not accept insurance directly, some insurance plans offer out-of-network mental health benefits. After payment, we provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurer — but you'll need to contact them directly to ask about your coverage.
Questions to ask your insurance company
Not sure what your plan covers? Here are helpful questions to ask before starting care.
- Is preauthorization required for mental health or behavioral health services?
- What is my annual deductible for mental health services, and have I met it?
- Does my plan cover a limited number of sessions per calendar year?
- Am I responsible for a co-insurance payment, and if so, what percentage?
- What is the typical reimbursement rate for outpatient psychotherapy in my area? CPT 90834
Why don't you accept insurance?
We get asked this question often. As a private pay practice, we believe this model allows us to provide better, more personalized care. Insurance companies mandate strict timelines and a predetermined number of sessions, leaving little room for the kind of flexible, personalized care we believe you deserve. By operating as a private pay practice, we're able to give you full control over your care, no limited provider lists, no required diagnoses, and no insurer dictating the pace of your care.
