Using Medical Insurances
Our services are considered a medical service and are therefore covered by most medical insurances. If you have medical insurance, and we are considered “In Network” with your insurance plan, you will only be held responsible for your portion of the service that the insurance does not cover. Each plan is different and we work hard to make sure all questions are answered prior to your first session. We also advise that, prior to your first session, you contact your insurance company to confirm that we are participating with your insurance company. An easy way to determine that is to check if the practice owner, Kelly J. Behrends, PsyD is a participating member in your plan. If the owner is “In Network,” then the entire practice is “In Network.” If we are not a member of your insurance panel, your services may still be covered as an “Out of Network” expense. In these cases, you will need to contact your insurance company and make sure that you have this option available. If you have any insurance questions, please contact our Office Manager at 224-433-6744 ext. 1.
