Costs of Treatment

Do Skyline clinicians take insurance?

Our clinicians are in-network with some major insurance plans and can bill those insurance companies for the costs of a client's therapy sessions or assessments. If a client is not with an insurance company that we are in-network with, they will be asked to pay for their sessions on the day that they are seen and will be provided with documentation to submit to their insurance company for reimbursement. See the below sections to learn more about out-of-network costs.

At this time, Dr. Noel Shadowen is in-network with Aetna and Quest Behavioral Health and Dr. Lindsay Anmuth is in-network with Aetna and Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield (note: this unfortunately does not include Independence Blue Cross).

What are "out-of-network" costs and who are "out-of-network" providers?

For all insurance plans other than Aetna, Quest, and Highmark BCBS, Skyline Psychotherapy & Assessment Services, PLLC psychologists are considered "out-of-network providers," which means that we do not receive payment from any other insurance companies. If we are out-of-network with their insurance companies, our clients are billed directly for their services and then provided with documentation that they might need to submit to their insurance companies for potential reimbursement. Our admin assistant can verify clients' insurance benefits and provide information about their reimbursement policies but clients are always recommended to call the number on the back of their card to verify themselves, as well. For further explanation or guidance on this issue, please feel free to contact us!

Important Notice

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.
