Insurance & Payment Options

At Renewal Counseling Centers, we want getting started with counseling to feel as simple and straightforward as possible.

We currently participate with Aetna and Cigna and are actively pursuing participation with several additional insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Because insurance benefits and coverage can vary by plan, we encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your specific mental health benefits, deductible, copay, coinsurance, and coverage requirements.

  • Aetna 
  • Cigna 

Currently Pursuing Additional Insurance Participation

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield 
  • Additional insurance plans as credentialing progresses 

Insurance participation and credentialing status can change. If you have questions about your specific plan, please contact our office.


Out-of-Network Insurance Reimbursement

Have insurance but don't see your plan listed? You may still have options.


Depending on your individual insurance plan, you may have out-of-network mental health benefits that allow you to submit your counseling expenses for potential reimbursement.

Renewal Counseling Centers is happy to provide an insurance-specific, itemized receipt or invoice upon request that includes information you may need to submit to your insurance company for consideration of reimbursement.

Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee reimbursement or determine your insurance benefits. Reimbursement is determined by your individual insurance plan and may depend on your deductible, out-of-network benefits, coinsurance, plan exclusions, and other requirements.


Before beginning services, we recommend asking your insurance provider:


  • Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits? 
  • What is my out-of-network deductible? 
  • What percentage of the allowed amount is reimbursed after my deductible? 
  • Is there a limit on the number of therapy sessions covered? 
  • Do I need prior authorization or a referral? 
  • What documentation is required when submitting a claim? 

We're happy to provide the documentation you need from our office.


HSA & FSA Payments Accepted

Your HSA or FSA may help make counseling more affordable.


Renewal Counseling Centers accepts eligible Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) payment methods for counseling services.

Using eligible HSA or FSA funds may allow you to use pre-tax dollars toward qualifying healthcare expenses.

If you're unsure whether your specific account can be used for counseling, we recommend checking with your HSA/FSA provider or plan administrator.


Financial Assistance

We understand that counseling is an investment, and we don't want financial concerns to automatically prevent someone from reaching out.

A limited number of financial-assistance appointments may be available based on individual circumstances and availability.

If cost is a concern, please contact us. We're happy to talk with you about available options. We are here to help.


Good Faith Estimates

If you are uninsured or choose not to use insurance, you may be entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before receiving services.

A Good Faith Estimate provides an estimate of the expected cost of scheduled services.

If you would like to request a Good Faith Estimate or have questions about your expected costs, please contact our office.

You don't have to figure everything out before reaching out.

Whether you're using insurance, planning to submit for out-of-network reimbursement, using HSA/FSA funds, or paying privately, we're happy to answer questions about our payment options and help you understand what to expect.
