Hello and Welcome!
My name is Katie McIntyre, MS, LPC, NCC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed School Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor and children's author.
I have committed my life to working with children of all ages. In addition, I enjoy working with women on women's issues. I have been working as a counselor for 20 years.
I am in-network for most plans with the following insurance companies:
Dean Health Plan
Blue Cross Blue Shield
I also have a private pay option, and most insurance companies allow for payments as an out-of-network provider.
Contact your insurance company to confirm that I am in-network for your plan. Please also see information regarding Good Faith Estimates below.
Disclaimer for Good Faith Estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) of expected charges.
The GFE shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for services provided by Counseling Outside of the Box, LLC. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. You may contact Katie McIntyre to let her know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask her to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
