Make sure your insurance won’t pay- NOCD can’t bill my insurance but I called them and after talking to two people and being persistent they said it should be covered because it’s considered telehealth or something- I have to send “superbills” in and get reimbursed but they eventually pay.

Oooo I'll call to see if that's the case with me. How do you go about getting the super bill from nocd? And how long did this this process usually take for you to get reimbursed?

@Anonymous Unfortunately it took me weeks to get reimbursed. Like a month. But the check finally came. When I called my insurance the first person I talk to didn’t think it would be covered but she clearly didn’t know for sure. So I called back another day and talked to another person Who seemed more knowledgeable, she said that it should be covered because of pandemic coverage of remote care. I made sure to write down the reference number for the call which I asked the insurance lady for. My therapist shared the email address for nocd billing, I asked them for the super bills and wrote up a letter to my insurance asking for reimbursement referencing my phone call and the reference number for the call, ( I was following instructions I found on my insurance’s website for “medical claims.”) I sent the superbills for each appt and the letter in the mail to my insurance. A month later I got a check. Obviously this will not work for everyone necessarily and it was a pain in the ass. Just hoping more people can find out they are covered if they do the paper work.

I’m in the same boat, I got stuck going with a regular therapist, I hope she has some kind of clue of what ocd is, better than nothing I guess though, first appointment is tomorrow 🤞🏼

this happened to me. NOCD didn’t accept my insurance so i literally switched to Medicaid mid-therapy to get a back pay. turns out they don’t accept CareSource Medicaid either?? (even though i was told they should) so i spent like $700 out of pocket that i assumed would be covered 😬 at the same time though, i needed the therapy, so i’m glad i did it!

It’s only 150$ for 6 appointments

It’s $150 per 60 or 90 minute session. I’ll need them twice a week for three weeks, plus some follow-ups—so that’s over $900.

@Anon Y. Mous Yes I know how sessions are lined up thats why I said 6 sessions plus the consultation. As everyone else said you can call your insurance and Ask them. Lots of insurance allows you to do a super bill

@Justmesadly The way you said it, it sounded like the total cost for all six sessions is $150. Anyway, as for me, I’ve already contacted my insurance and NOCD. NOCD does not accept my insurance. NOCD was a bit misleading. They offered me CPT codes to try, and then my insurance said they’d accept them, and so I gave NOCD my insurance information and they told me my insurance is not accepted. I don’t know why NOCD would lead me on like that. So I’ll have to find another insurance plan next month, which doesn’t help me since I need more immediate care.

@Anon Y. Mous Yes I understand they don’t accept mine either. As I said you can call your insurance and ask them to take it. Mine said yes as someone else commented as well!
