Fees and Insurance

At Long Island DBT Group, we are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based therapy services while ensuring transparency around costs. Our goal is to make sure that you are fully informed about our fees, insurance options, and payment procedures so that you can focus on your healing journey without any surprises.

LIDBT Making Change
We focus on clinical excellence in implementing a DBT adherent program and strive to maintain the highest quality of care for our clients. This includes weekly DBT individual therapy sessions conducted by intensively trained DBT therapists, DBT skills training groups, and phone coaching. In a number of controlled studies, this model has been shown to significantly reduce hospitalizations, and the incidence and severity of suicide and self-harm behaviors.)

Insurance

Long Island DBT Group does not accept insurance.

We are an out-of-network provider. Payment is rendered at time of each scheduled service. Payment can be made in the form of credit card, check or Flexible Spending Account (Health Spending Account).

Contact Your Insurance Provider for possible reimbursment:

We recommend you contact your insurance provider and ask about your out-of-network coverage.

Here are some tips for dealing with your insurance company. If you have out-of-network benefits, you will pay Long Island DBT Group when treatment is rendered and be given a claim form to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. It is helpful to call your insurance company in advance of your first visit so that you understand your out-of-network benefits. You will want to ask your insurance company the following questions:

  • Can I go out of network? Are mental health services covered out of network?
  • Is there a separate deductible for mental health treatment? What is my deductible before I will receive reimbursement?
  • How many sessions per year are covered? Do I have a limit on the number of visits per year?
  • What percentage of fees will I be reimbursed? How much reimbursement can I expect for each of the following services: individual session (90834), family sessions/family groups (90847, 90846, 990849), 60-minute session (90837), and individual adult group (90853)?
  • Are telehealth (virtual) sessions covered and will be reimbursed?
  • Can I have multiple sessions on the same day (i.e. individual session and group therapy on the same day)?
  • To be reimbursed, does my therapist need to have specific credentials (i.e. LCSW, LCSW-R)?

Our therapists are not insurance advocates nor liaisons between you and your insurance provider. Your therapist will not submit forms directly to your insurance company. Your therapist will provide documentation of services (superbill or HICF) with all CPT codes to you. Your insurance company decides the amount of reimbursement you will receive. We are not responsible for the amount not covered by insurance and will not reimburse the amount not covered.

LI DBT is one of only a few DBT adherent programs in the greater Long Island region. DBT adherent programs are those whose therapists have been intensively trained and who adhere to the protocol.
