Insurance and Fees for Therapy in Seattle

Figuring out cost shouldn't be the hardest part of starting therapy. This page explains how it works, in plain terms. If anything is still unclear, call or text us at (206) 659-7161 and we'll walk you through it.

Three ways to pay

Option 1:
Use your in-network insurance

We're in-network with Premera Blue Cross, LifeWise, and many out-of-state Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, such as Anthem. We bill your insurance directly, and you pay your plan's share.

Option 2:
Use out-of-network benefits

You pay our private rate at each session. We give you a superbill to send to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

How to use out-of-network insurance

Option 3:
Pay privately

You pay a set rate per session and insurance isn't involved. Some people choose this for simplicity or extra privacy.

 

Fees vary by clinician and range from $170 to $245 per session.
Good Faith Estimate Notice.

Insurance and payment questions

  • Greenlake Wellness Group is in-network with Premera, LifeWise, and Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), including certain out-of-state BCBS plans such as Anthem. We are not in-network with Regence or the Federal Employee Program, and other plans are typically handled as out-of-network/self-pay.

  • For in-network insurance

    Costs will depend on your plan's copay/coinsurance amounts. You'll need to check with your insurance plan directly to find out what sessions will cost.

    For out-of-network insurance

    Costs are the same as out of pocket, and will range between $170-$245 per session, set by each individual therapist. You can work with your insurance company to see if they will accept a superbill to cover out of network providers.

    For out-of-pocket payment

    Costs range between $170-$245 per session, set by each individual therapist.

  • Unfortunately no. Clients are asked to call the number on the back of their insurance card to confirm eligibility and expected costs. We are unable to  confirm insurance benefits and cannot contact your insurance company on your behalf.

  • You can still schedule by paying out of pocket, then (if your plan offers out-of-network benefits) request reimbursement. We can provide a superbill, which out-of-network plans may use to reimburse part of the fee, apply it to your deductible, or not cover it. Reimbursement is not guaranteed.

  • Most HSAs can be used to cover therapy costs, and it is recommended to confirm directly with your HSA provider. If you have an FSA, it is best to confirm eligibility with your plan administrator.

  • A Superbill is an itemized invoice of services your therapist can provide for out-of-network reimbursement; you submit it to your insurance company using whatever forms/process they require.

    ​

    Superbills are not available for Medicaid or Medicare and that you should confirm your insurer’s requirements in advance.
