Yep, it's easier than you think.

Ahhhh, therapy cost fortunes and your insurance either sucks for in-network benefits or you can't find a therapist who's the right fit who accepts your insurance. OCD specialist? Couples Counselor? EMDR-trained? Parenting Expert? You may have out-of-network benefits, but the hassle of filing claims and waiting for reimbursement can feel discouraging. Well, we use Thrizer and it's been a gamechanger.

Thrizer: How can it help make therapy more accessible for me?

Thrizer eases the reimbursement process while maximizing your insurance benefits, without you needing to submit and communicate with insurance (with alllll the extra time you have in your life). Claims are submitted automatically with little effort from either of us and if a claim is denied, Thrizer handles the resubmission—so you’re not left dealing with frustrating insurance disputes. This means you can focus on your healing, not the paperwork!

Okay, but how does it work?

The basics are:

  1. We will email you a link to create your Thrizer account.
  2. Add your insurance information and a payment method to set up your account.
  3. Review your out-of-network benefits and estimated co-insurance to clarify any questions you have.
  4. We will charge you via Thrizer for our appointments and claims will be automatically submitted for you. You can check the status of all claims in the portal.

Here is a resource to help with your setup process.

Once you meet your deductible, you have options on how to pay less or get reimbursed:

  1. They charge a 5% fee (of the rate) if you would like to just pay a copay; you will pay that fee at the time of the session along with your copay. You would not be paying the full rate and waiting for reimbursement with this option.
  2. If you are okay paying the full fee and waiting for reimbursement, you have the option to choose that route instead for a 1% fee. That fee gets deducted from the reimbursement that comes to your bank account.
  3. If you are still working towards a deductible, you do not pay any fees.

All fees are exclusively for Thrizer’s services. We do not receive any of this fee.
