Spark Providers & Services are considered “In Network” for the following insurance carriers.
For other carries, most of our patients are able to get part or all of fees paid by insurance using typical “out of network” reimbursement options. Please verify with your insurance carrier if reimbursement is important to you prior to scheduling or paying for Spark Services.
Following each visit an invoice with appropriate diagnostic information will be provided, so patients may submit for reimbursement by sending service paid invoices directly to them.
HOW TO FIND OUT IF YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY WILL REIMBURSE AND IF SO, HOW MUCH:
Three different ways to find if, and how much your insurance company will reimburse:
1. Check your health insurance materials or website to review “out of network” coverage. This is more common with PPO plans than HMO plans.
2. Before an initial visit with Spark call your health insurance company (using the number on your insurance card) and ask:
Does my plan has include any “out of network coverage” for out of network Psychiatric Providers? And, if so, how much you will be reimbursed for the following CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) Codes?
90792 (Initial Evaluation Visit For New Patients )
99214+ (Standard Follow Up | Medication Management | 30 mins)
99215+90838 (Extended Follow Up Visit | 60 mins with Therapy)
Phone Call, Letter or Other Provider Requests are not covered by insurance.
3. If you are not sure what is covered in part or whole and do not want to call your insurance company you may decide to submit an invoice and see how much reimbursement you receive if any. Also read the EOB (Explanation of Benefits) that is sent back to you by your insurance company.
Health insurance companies are required by law either to pay the claim, or tell you why they are not going to pay, within 30 days.

Appointment Attendance: Please arrive or log-in on time for scheduled appointments. We strive to be on time for all of our clients and each appointment will need to end on time to ensure punctuality for all. If you are more than 10 minutes late for scheduled appointment, you will likely be rescheduled and charged for the scheduled visit.
Cancellations: We require 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule appointments in order to avoid being charged in full for your visit.
Prescription Refills: It is vitally important that you attend appointments on a regular basis. Good adherence to follow up appointments and adequate treatment monitoring are vital factors in treatment outcomes. Refills are provided at each appointment when indicated, and will include sufficient refills until the next scheduled appointment.

In that case we will do our best to provide assistance to ensure there is no gap in treatment. However, we do require 3 days’ notice for refills and cannot offer same day services.
