Do you have out-of-network benefits?

Most private insurance plans cover part of out-of-network therapy. Three steps to find out if yours does — and how to actually get reimbursed.

  1. 1

    Call the number on the back of your insurance card.

    Ask for "member services" or "behavioral health benefits." Have your card ready — they'll need the member ID.

  2. 2

    Ask these five questions.

    Write down what they tell you — having this on paper makes the rest easy.

    • "Does my plan have out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits?"
    • "What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much have I met?"
    • "Once I've met it, what percentage do you reimburse for CPT code 90837 (60-min individual therapy) and 90853 (group therapy)?"
    • "Is there a session limit per year?"
    • "How do I submit a superbill — by mail, online portal, or app?"
  3. 3

    We give you a superbill. You submit. You get reimbursed.

    After each session you'll be able to download a superbill from your client portal — that's the document with the diagnosis, dates, CPT codes, and our tax ID. You submit it to your insurance the way they told you in step 2. Reimbursement typically lands in 2–6 weeks.

    Apps like Reimbursify and Mentaya automate this for $5–10 per claim if you'd rather not deal with it manually.

HSA / FSA / HRA accounts all cover therapy at FRTC — you can pay directly with those cards without going through the OON process.

Why DBT clinics don't usually take commercial insurance

The short version: DBT skills groups are two-hour sessions led by two clinicians. Insurance reimburses group therapy at a flat per-session rate that assumes a one-hour group with one leader — typically $20–$40 per client. The math doesn't work.

A real comprehensive DBT program (the kind that actually replicates Dr. Linehan's research-backed model) includes:

  • A two-hour group, not one — long enough to teach a real skill, practice it, and process homework from the prior week
  • Two clinicians co-leading, not one — one teaches, one tracks behavioral targets and supports group dynamics
  • A weekly therapist consultation team meeting that all DBT therapists must attend (also unpaid by insurance)
  • Phone coaching between sessions, billable to nobody

Insurers underwriting group therapy almost universally assume the modal group is a 60-minute drop-in support circle with one facilitator. Reimbursing a comprehensive DBT group at that rate would mean each clinician earns roughly $10–15 per hour. No certified program in the country runs on that.

That's why every DBT-Linehan Board Certified program in Colorado — and most certified programs nationally — is private-pay or out-of-network. The model can't survive in-network reimbursement without dropping what makes it work.

The trade-off: private pay or OON typically costs more out-of-pocket up-front, but you get the program as it was researched and validated. With OON benefits and a met deductible, the net cost often lands close to in-network co-pays for a much weaker, "DBT-informed" alternative.

Insurance & Payment FAQ

Common questions about Medicaid (Colorado Access), Medicare, the No Surprises Act, and your rights.

Do you accept Medicaid?
Yes — FRTC accepts Colorado Access (Medicaid).
Do you accept private insurance?
FRTC is an out-of-network provider for all private insurance companies and does not bill any insurance company directly. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse you for some or all of your expenses. You can download statements for submission through your client portal. You may also use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA).
What should I ask my insurance company?
If you have out-of-network benefits, contact your insurance company before your first appointment and ask:

• How much will my plan cover per session?
• How many sessions per year does my plan cover?
• What information do I need to submit for reimbursement?
• What address do I send claims to?
• What is the deadline for filing claims?
What about Medicare?
We can see persons with Medicare, but please be aware that Medicare will not reimburse you for services you receive from us.
What are my rights regarding surprise billing?
When you get treated by an out-of-network provider, you are protected from "surprise billing" or "balance billing." At FRTC, we do not offer emergency or surgical services. Since we are considered out-of-network providers for all clients, you will never receive a surprise bill or balance bill.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
Under federal law, health care providers must give patients who don't have insurance (or aren't using insurance) an estimate of the bill for medical services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your estimate, you can dispute it.
