Insurance Information Vaughn Therapeutic Collective is a private-pay practice and is not in-network with insurance companies. We do not submit insurance claims. Upon request, we can provide a superbill that you may submit directly to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Before beginning services, we recommend contacting your insurance provider and asking: • Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits? • What is my deductible, and how much has been met? • Are there limits on the number of counseling sessions covered each year? • Does my plan cover telehealth services? • Are there restrictions or special requirements for telehealth reimbursement? • Does my plan reimburse services provided at my child's school (when available)? • How do I submit a superbill for reimbursement? https://sites.google.com/vaughntherapeuticcollective.com/vaughntherapeuticcollective/home/faqs
