questions that need answers
1.
Am I ready to begin and commit to a journey toward mental wellness and wholeness?
2.
Do I understand a diagnosis must be applied upon the first session if I elect to use my insurance. By using insurance, I understand how this contributes to the medical industrial complex.
3.
Do I know my insurance deductible, copay and/or coinsurance amount(s)?
4.
Do I understand reimbursement documentation from PsycYourMind® must include a diagnosis if I use my FSA/HSA card?
4a. If I use an FSA/HSA card a statement for reimbursement cannot be generated. This is illegal (double-dipping).
​
