Some health insurance plans require pre-approval for specialty services including mental health treatment. If you have questions about your coverage you can contact your health insurance plan directly at the telephone number listed on the back of the insurance card provided to you by the insurance company.

Your partnership with both your physician and therapist is important. Prospective clients are encouraged to contact their primary care physician prior to and/or during the course of mental health treatment.

Many insurance plans offer the patient the option of receiving care from in-network or out-of-network providers. For those plans that allow this option, the client pays for services and receives a statement from Dr. Gerst that they can then submit to the insurance plan for reimbursement. Rates for out-of-network reimbursement vary greatly. Contact you insurance plan for coverage options.
