  • I am currently an out-of network provider. If there is a PPO are on your insurance card, your insurance plan may provide coverage for out-of-network services. If so, most of my services meet requirements to provide you with a receipt to submit for reimbursement. I am happy to talk with you more about this option. Please see the FAQ regarding OON benefits.

  • If you look on your health insurance card and see a PPO listed, it means you have out of network (OON) benefits. This is great! This means you will pay for the sessions up front. I will then give you a monthly superbill to submit to your insurance for reimbursement for a percentage of the cost. The percentage is based on your insurance.

    Please see the quick guide for using out of network benefits below.

  • Questions to Ask Your Insurance Company:

    a. 90791 (intake session)

    b. 90837 (individual 53-60 minutes)

    c. 90834 (individual 45 minutes)

    -Reference number for the call:

    -Write down date of call:

    -Customer service representatives' name:

    This information can help future customer service folks find the information for the call since they are recorded.

    Heads Up: They might ask all sorts of questions about the therapy you are seeking (e.g. the therapist’s NPI number, CPT codes, diagnosis codes, etc.)- they don't need all of this information right now- when you’re ready to submit for reimbursement all the information they need will be on the superbill that I will send you. I send super bills out once a month to clients.

    Another heads up: When you are ready to submit the superbill, you will be asked if you want the reimbursement check sent to your address or to your provider. It is important that you have the reimbursement sent to you and not me.

    Final Note/Acknowledgement: Your insurance coverage and any reimbursement is a contract between youand your insurance company. The above is only a general recommendation and Molly McCarthy, LMHC is not responsible for any coverage or reimbursement.

    Molly McCarthy, LMHC has no obligation to interact with any insurance company and will not interact with insurance companies on your behalf. This form is a guide but is not intended to be a commitment to services with Molly McCarthy, LMHC.

  • I am licensed in the state of Massachusetts. My office is in Westboroug, Ma.

    I ask that each client is in a private, quiet space to be able to fully get the most out of therapy and to protect their privacy.

  • Yes! My office is in Westborough, MA.

  • During the first appointment, we will go over practice policies so that you can ask any questions you have. We will then go over your intake paperwork and get really clear on what your goals are in therapy.

  • I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. If you need to cancel your session within 48 hours, you will be charged the normal full fee (not the co-pay as insurance does not cover late cancellations).

  • Therapy is an investment in yourself. In order for you to get the most out of it, I meet with client’s weekly or every other week. We will have a set time to meet so scheduling will be one less thing you have to think about!

  • I am unable to provide services after hours. If you are having an emergency, or feel as if you cannot keep yourself safe, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. You may also call or text 988 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

  • Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance, who are not using insurance, or are using out-of-network benefits for services, an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

    You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost. You can ask for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

  • Yes! We can bring healing wherever life takes us. No matter what job we take, our presence matters to others.
