Transparent Pricing, No Surprises

We are a private-pay practice

The Shift does not work with insurance panels and does not bill insurance directly. This is a deliberate choice, not a limitation. When a practice bills insurance, the insurer determines what diagnoses get covered, how many sessions are approved, and what gets placed in your medical record. Private pay removes those third-party decisions from your care.

What that means in practice: your sessions stay between you and your therapist. There is no required diagnosis to start. No session caps imposed by a coverage policy. No insurance company deciding what treatment looks like for you.

It also means speed. Because we are not waiting on insurance authorizations, we can usually get new clients in for a same-day consultation or appointment.

Most of our clients find that the flexibility and privacy are worth it. And there are options to help offset the cost.

Superbills for out-of-network reimbursement

If you have a PPO or other insurance plan with out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible to receive partial reimbursement for sessions at The Shift. We can provide a superbill, a detailed receipt with the billing codes your insurance requires, after each session.

You would submit the superbill directly to your insurer. Reimbursement rates vary by plan, so check with your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network benefit before your first appointment. We are happy to help you understand what information you will need.

FSA and HSA accepted

We accept Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) cards for all sessions. Many clients use these accounts to offset the cost of private-pay care without going through insurance claims.
