What Are You PAYING For When You Private Pay for Mental Health Treatment?

Coriander Living Collective is designed as a private pay for services business accepting credit, debit, HSA, or FLEX funds. We believe as a provider this offers you the highest level of care. For you as the client, this affords you certain advantages over using health insurance or a third party payer. Beyond your session time and treatment intervention you are paying for:

·      Complete Control over Treatment: No outside payer is dictating the type, duration, or frequency of your care. Insurance companies often limit the number of sessions or providers you can see. 

·      No Required Mental Health Diagnosis: Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM-V) to pay for your treatment. These pathological, DSM-Vlabels become part of your permanent medical record if submitted through an insurance or medical network. Also, client concerns often do not fit the criteria for a DSM-V label such as seeking marital counseling, grief support, career transitions, or personal development. 

·      Greater Privacy: Your records are not shared with an insurance company or outside agency (unless you request it for some reason) or made part of your permanent medical record.

Allowing you as the client, and us as the provider, to collaborate on the best course of treatment is most important to Coriander Living Collective. Please reach out if you have questions about our payment or billing policies.

Coriander Living Collective respects that some clients want to access insurance benefits for mental health intervention. We are willing to provide a monthly superbill for you to seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance company. We also offer a sliding fee scale for those with limited financial resources. Lastly, we may not be a good therapeutic fit, and that is okay. We are happy to support you in locating a provider that fits your needs.
