Insurance and Co-Pays
Soul Care Counseling and Consultation, PLLC has an agreement with certain insurance companies. If clients are in-network, they will be required to pay for co-pays based on the specific insurance plan. Clients that have not met their deductible will be charged for the full amount of the specific insurance contracted rate. The therapist will bill insurance for the invoice amount so the insurance company can apply to the deductible. Clients may make co-payments on their Client Portal with any major credit card.

Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis before they will reimburse for sessions. Diagnosis will be provided to the client's insurance provider. This diagnosis will become a permanent part of the client's insurance record.

HSA (Health Savings Accounts)
