Cancellation Policy
Time is our most valuable asset. Your time is especially reserved for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please inform me ahead of time with at least a 48-business-hour (48-hour period occurring during business days which includes any day except Saturday, Sunday, or a federal holiday) notification. Please request cancellation for Monday appointment on Thursday the week before. If you are late to your appointment more than 15-minute, your session will be automatically counted as late cancellation and a reschedule email will be sent to you. A Late cancellation will result in charging the same amount of session fees.
Insurance & Reimbursement
I am an out-of-network (OON) provider. I am not paneled with any insurance or EAP company. My clients attend therapy on an out-of-network basis or pay for sessions out of pocket.
Individual Therapy: I offer a monthly superbill/ insurance reimbursement statement to clients who seek individual therapy, have out of network coverage insurance and wish to get reimbursement from their insurance companies for eligible services.
Couples and Family Therapy: I do NOT offer superbill/ insurance reimbursement statement to couple therapy or family as diagnosis codes due to the irreconcilable conflicts between the nature of these therapy modalities and insurance reimbursement requirements.
Reimbursement Process: For clients plan to get reimbursement from their insurance companies, please follow these steps:
Call your insurance company to see whether you have out of network coverage for the specific counseling services you are seeking for (Please feel free to reach out to Yuwei for possible diagnosis codes and billing codes for individual therapy). If you have out of network coverage, got to step 2
Ask your insurance company
Do you need to meet any deductible before they start reimbursing you? If you do, how much is it?
How much percentage will they reimburse you?
How long does it take for them to reimburse you?
You can file the reimbursement document on your own, or check out the app Reimbursify (It designed to simplify all of your out-of-network claims. You can file your first claim for free. Disclaimer: Relationship Works has no affiliation with Reimbursity, please use it at your discretion and own risk.)
No Surprise Act & Good Faith Estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
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.
