Fees & Insurance

Clear answers before you begin

Many of our services can be covered by insurance, and coaching is available for everything we offer. We will walk you through your options so you can focus on getting support.

Two Ways to Work With Us

Choose the path that fits your needs. We are happy to help you decide.

Using Insurance

Many of our services can be covered by insurance, but not all. We take care of checking your benefits for you.

  • We verify your coverage before your first session
  • Copays, coinsurance, and deductibles vary by plan
  • We let you know up front if a service is not covered

Coaching

Coaching is available for any and all of the services we offer and is paid directly rather than billed to insurance.

  • Fees are discussed with you during your consultation
  • An option when a service is not covered by your plan
  • You will know your cost before you begin

Using insurance? State matters. Insurance covered sessions must be with a clinician licensed in the state where you are located at the time of your session. See each clinician's licensed states on our Meet the Team page.

Common Questions

Does The Gentle Paw accept insurance?

Many of our services can be covered by insurance, but not all. We verify your coverage for you before your first session so you know what to expect.

What will my copay be?

Copays, coinsurance, and deductibles vary by insurance plan. When we verify your benefits, we share what your plan reports so there are no surprises.

What if my service is not covered by insurance?

Coaching is available for any and all of the services we offer and is paid directly rather than billed to insurance. We discuss coaching fees with you during your consultation.

Does my location matter when using insurance?

Yes. Insurance covered sessions must be with a clinician licensed in the state where you are located at the time of your session.

Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

Under the No Surprises Act, if you do not have insurance or are not using insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care. You can ask for one before scheduling, and we will provide it in writing before your first session.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
