Intensive Outpatient Services
This is a service where the patient can be seen multiple times per week, up to five times per week. Sessions can be standard return session lengths or extended sessions depending on the therapy plan decided between the patient and provider. If a higher level of care is needed, the patient will be referred out to appropriate services.
Payments and Superbills
Dr. Megan Barthle-Herrera is an out-of-network provider and does not participate directly with insurance plans. All services are provided on a self-pay basis, and payment is due at the time of service.
Many insurance plans offer reimbursement for psychotherapy services through out-of-network benefits. Upon request, patients will receive a monthly superbill that can be submitted directly to their insurance company for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement rates and eligibility vary by plan, and patients are encouraged to contact their insurance carrier to determine their specific out-of-network mental health benefits.
We recommend contacting your insurance provider prior to beginning treatment to inquire about:
Out-of-network mental health coverage
Deductible requirements
Reimbursement rates for psychotherapy services
Any preauthorization requirements
Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and is determined solely by your insurance provider.

No Surprises Act & Good Faith Estimate Notice
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers must give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business date before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
