Insurance

Pinnacle Psychology accepts the following insurance plans:

Tricare– All Regions

As of March 2, 2022, Dr. Bigler is NOT accepting any new insurance based appointments for Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, or CIGNA policies. Exceptions made to insurance policy only when referred by certain medical/ mental health professionals. This change will not affect current patients.

If your insurance policy has out-of-network benefits you may be eligible for reimbursement for out-of-pocket costs for mental health services. If your policy does have out-of-network coverage, Pinnacle Psychology offers Concierge Billing to help simplify the reimbursement process. See below for details. 

Concierge Billing for Out-of-Network Insurance

We do provide convenience billing services to those wishing to use out-of-network insurance. Pinnacle Psychology will submit a claim on your behalf to seek direct reimbursement for services after paying out-of-pocket. Prior to your first appointment, if requested, you will receive a step-by-step guide on how to use your out-of-network insurance benefits at Pinnacle Psychology, PLLC.

We gladly will submit reimbursement claims on your behalf, free of charge. When starting therapy, people are most often at a place in their life where they are overwhelmed, and dealing with insurance companies can seem daunting. As such, we will do our best to make this process as simple and easy as possible, so you can focus on your mental health treatment and reaching your Pinnacle Mental Health.

Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.

I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

• Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
• Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
• Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
• Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?

Payment

I accept cash, check, Health Saving Accounts, and all major credit cards as forms of payment. I also accept payment directly through the client portal.

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.
