Why Choose Intrepid Mental Wellness for Out-of-Network Psychiatric Care

Selecting Intrepid Mental Wellness for your psychiatric care offers a level of privacy and control that is often missing with in-network providers. When working with an in-network provider, insurance companies require full access to your medical records, including sensitive details from your therapy sessions. These records may be reviewed by multiple individuals during audits, increasing the risk of your private information being exposed. At Intrepid Mental Wellness, protecting your confidentiality is a top priority. Since we operate out of network, we do not share your treatment notes with insurance companies, allowing you to maintain full control over your personal information.

How We Support Your Out-of-Network Benefits

While we don’t accept in-network insurance, we simplify the process of using your out-of-network benefits. Here’s how it works:

1. You pay for services in full on the day of your appointment, with no direct involvement from your insurance provider.

2. At your request, we provide a superbill—a detailed receipt—that you can submit to your insurance company. This document includes only essential details, such as your diagnostic code, and excludes treatment notes, ensuring your privacy remains protected.

Many patients find it helpful to use tools like Thrizer to check their out-of-network benefits and make reimbursement easier. Depending on your insurance plan, you may receive a direct reimbursement for a portion of the costs.

Flexible Options for Medications and Labs

Another advantage of out-of-network care is that you can still use your insurance to cover medications and lab work. When your provider prescribes medication or orders tests, your insurance typically covers these costs with just a diagnostic code—no access to your treatment notes or plans is required. This means you can benefit from coverage for these essential services without compromising your privacy.

Affordable and Customized Care

We understand that self-pay can feel overwhelming, so we work to keep your care financially manageable. We avoid scheduling unnecessary appointments and tailor the frequency of visits to your specific needs. If we’re helping you stabilize symptoms or manage side effects, appointments are usually spaced 4-6 weeks apart. As you improve, visits may be scheduled every 3 months. Of course, if you need additional support, we’re here for you. Your well-being comes first, and we adjust care based on your progress.

Your Mental Health, Your Choice

By choosing Intrepid Mental Wellness, you’re prioritizing both your privacy and your mental health. Our approach offers personalized, private care that allows you to focus fully on your journey to wellness. We’re here to provide the support you need with respect, discretion, and a commitment to your unique needs.
