Why private pay?
Cognitive Edge Counseling is private-pay first — on purpose. For the veterans, first responders, and professionals we serve, that choice buys something insurance can't: privacy and control.
- Your privacy stays yours. No mental-health diagnosis on a permanent insurance record — which matters for clearances, promotions, and fitness-for-duty reviews.
- No insurance limits on your care. You and Dan decide how often and how long you're seen, not a health plan's approval process.
- Simple and direct. One clear rate, paid at the time of service. No surprise bills, no claim denials, no red tape.
- Focused on what matters. More time spent on your goals, less on paperwork and coding.
What about insurance?
Insurance is accepted, but not required — private pay is the primary option here. If you'd like to use your out-of-network benefits, Dan can provide a monthly superbill (a detailed receipt) that you may submit to your insurer for possible partial reimbursement.
Before you start, it's worth calling your insurance company to ask about your out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits — including your deductible and reimbursement rate. Not sure where to begin? Call and we'll help you think it through.
Your Good Faith Estimate
Under the federal No Surprises Act, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care. You'll receive one at intake, and you can request one any time before scheduling. There are no hidden fees — the rate above is the rate.
