KYLIN H LEE, PH.D.
FEES AND INSURANCE
Individual Therapy: $185 for a 50-minute session
Group Therapy: $50 for 90-minute group session
I am in-network with Aetna and Optum plans (including UnitedHealthCare) plans. A full list of panels I am in network with can be found here. Contact your insurance plan to see if you are eligible for benefits.
HOW TO USE INSURANCE BENEFITS
Each individual benefit plan varies. I am considered in network with certain Optum and Aetna Plans (full list here). I partner with a company called Alma to process payment and insurance benefits. Clients wishing to use their insurance benefits to see me create a portal with Alma who verifies benefits and processes copays.
If I am considered an "out of network" provider with your plan, then I provide a superbill for you to submit to them or you simply pay the fee on your own without utilizing insurance. In general, if your plan is a PPO policy, you can pick any provider to work with, including me! Payment is due at time of service, and then I can provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement for some or all of the payment, depending on your benefits.
If you have an HMO policy, I am considered an "out of network" provider, meaning you cannot use your insurance benefits to pay for therapy with me. You can choose to just pay me (like you do your accountant, plumber, or orthodontist) and payments would go towards your "out of network" deductible.
Call the 1-800 number on your insurance card to determine what benefits you might use.
OTHER LOW-COST OPTIONS
If you can't afford to work with me for whatever reason, and still are in need of mental health services, you can visit Open Path Collective, which can help generate a list of therapists with low-cost options.
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to 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 day 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.
