Insurance
Gold Psych Services is an out-of-network provider with all insurance plans. Fees are paid directly by client or their responsible party. For clients with out-of-network benefits, Dr. Lauren will provide a superbill upon request, which is the document needed to file for potential reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits. The client/policyholder/responsible party is solely responsible for obtaining any authorizations, pre-certifications, or follow-up required.
Why I have chosen not to work with insurance:
I’ve chosen not to work directly with insurance companies so that I can provide care that is thoughtful, individualized, and focused on what is truly best for each individual client, child, and family. Insurance companies often place limits on the types of services that can be provided, how long sessions can last, and what diagnoses must be used for reimbursement. By working outside of insurance, I’m able to spend the time needed to conduct thorough evaluations, tailor recommendations to your or your child’s unique profile, and focus on support rather than paperwork and restrictions. Many families also appreciate the added privacy this approach provides, since their records, or those of their child, and diagnoses are not shared with an insurance company.
