What mailing address do you have on file for reimbursement checks or correspondence?
How do I submit a superbill (online portal, mail, or fax), and what is the filing deadline for reimbursement requests?

Most insurance companies allow superbills to be submitted in one of three ways:
Online through your insurance portal
By fax
By mail
While all three methods are generally accepted, submitting your superbill through your insurance company's online portal is typically the fastest and most secure option. Online submission helps protect your privacy, allows for quicker processing, and often makes it easier to track the status of your reimbursement claim.
Be sure to ask your insurance provider how they prefer claims to be submitted and whether there are any deadlines or specific requirements for reimbursement requests.

Timelines may vary depending on your insurance provider.
If approved, your insurance company may reimburse a portion of your therapy costs, often after any applicable copay, coinsurance, or deductible has been applied.
If your claim is denied, contact your insurance provider to request an explanation of the denial and to learn about any next steps or appeal options that may be available.
Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and is determined by your individual insurance plan and out-of-network benefits.
