Payment Information

FourRives has made the decision to not become paneled with insurance companies. Out-of-pocket paying, via a credit or debit card means you are paying directly for your therapy, ensuring that your mental health information stays private.

 

Though many people rely on their insurance for mental health services, doing this gives the insurance company access to your confidential information and puts the control in their hands for how often, and for how long, you can receive services. Insurance companies require that the details of your sessions become part of your health record. This information is used by insurance companies to determine the duration, frequency, and method of treatment, which leads them to often prescribe only a certain number of sessions based on a diagnosis.

 

Insurance companies require your therapist to diagnose you with an illness in order for you to access your coverage-- even when a diagnosis is not medically necessary-- and they require that your symptoms stay within the bounds of that illness to maintain coverage.
