Listen to this episode to get my powerful free resource which includes a plug-and-play superbill template that meets all insurance reimbursement standards and the exact list of questions I give prospective patients to ask their insurance providers if they’re insistent on checking their out-of-network benefits before starting with you— to minimize them getting talked out of going out-of-network, AND understanding what they’ll get back from self claims as well as the often-higher cost of going in-network if they still have a deductible to hit.
