PRIVATE PAY

Joie de Vivre is pleased to accept private pay for clients who wish to pay for their health services out-of-pocket. Joie de Vivre is primarily a private pay practice, and the majority of our clients pay for their health services out of pocket or utilize out of network benefits. Our out of pocket fees vary by clinician. Please see your preferred therapist’s summary page for specific rates.

Here are some of the benefits that come with utilizing private pay:

• You choose the therapist best suited to your needs rather than the insurance company telling you who to see.

• No insurance equals less documentation. This results in more quality time to focus on therapy.

• Mental health diagnosis is not mandatory and not submitted to your private health records.

• No limit on amount of sessions or time of your session.

• You are guaranteed privacy and confidentiality.

• Private pay clients are able to choose the focus, duration, and frequency of therapy. You are even allowed to choose the length of sessions.

• Research shows that clients who have to pay something for their treatment have more positive outcomes that those who receive free treatment.

• Insurance premiums and life insurance policies will not increase based of mental health diagnosis and treatments.

• You will be able to stay with your therapist even if your insurance plan coverage changes.

IN-NETWORK INSURANCE

A few of our providers are in network with insurance while other clinicians only accept private pay and out of network benefits. Accepted insurances include Aetna and United Healthcare. If we do not accept your insurance you may be eligible for Out of Network (OON) benefits, we can provide you with a "Super Bill" to submit to your insurance plan for reimbursement purposes. Please contact us at (770) 325-2443, or review see your preferred therapist’s profile for more information.

USING OUT-OF-NETWORK INSURANCE

If you want the same control and privacy that comes with using private pay, but would like to utilize your insurance provider, you can pursue therapy using your out of network insurance benefits. We provide you with a receipt or superbill and documentation to submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement. Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. If you do intend to request reimbursement from your insurance company, please notify us, so that we can ensure proper documentation.

Each insurance plan offers different benefits so please check your specific coverage for details. You can inquire to your insurance by asking these questions:

• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

HOLISTIC & INTEGRATIVE SERVICES

Nature therapy, biofeedback, mindfulness, movement therapy and hypnotherapy are billed directly to our clients. If you would like to submit a reimbursement claim with your insurance provider, we can provide you with an invoice.
