"You can't bill insurance for Couple Therapy."

Barbara Griswold, LMFT

I have heard that SOOOO many times… you, too? Well, here’s a little secret:

That’s a myth!

It’s not true! You can, in fact, bill insurance for couple therapy, and it’s even above-the-line!

In our newest episode, insurance expert Barbara Griswold, LMFT, sheds a whole lot of light on the ins and outs of couple therapy billing… what codes to use, how to diagnose, etc. Working with couples is not only clinically challenging, but it can be difficult to navigate the added complexities in the areas of billing, documentation, and ethical practice. Who really is your client? Must you choose an identified patient, and if so, how do you choose? How do you diagnose a couple? Do you need two charts and two treatment plans? Whose permission do you need to release the record? When can you bill insurance, and when can't you? How do you bill for longer couples sessions? Not to worry… this episode answers it all!

This entertaining presentation covers practical issues you deal with daily when working with couples, challenges myths you may have heard, and invites you to think more carefully about your current couple therapy insurance billing practices.
