Insurance
Out-of-network benefits
Dr. Lim is an out-of-network provider for all insurance plans. To receive coverage through your out-of-network benefits, clients pay in full at the time of the session and then submit a claim to their insurance company.
Dr. Lim will provide the necessary superbill — an itemized receipt — to submit for out-of-network claim filing. After the claim is submitted and processed, you receive a reimbursement check directly from your insurer.

Questions to ask your insurer
Dr. Lim recommends calling your insurance company and asking the following questions to understand your out-of-network coverage before beginning therapy.
Does your insurance plan have out-of-network mental health (behavioral health) benefits?
Do you have an out-of-network deductible that has to be met first before you get reimbursed?
If you do have a deductible, has any of it been covered yet this year?
What is the usual, customary, and reasonable fee covered by your insurance for outpatient psychotherapy for individual therapy, CPT code 90834, or for group psychotherapy, CPT code 90853, in the zip code 92103?
How much of the fee does your insurance cover? This is usually a percentage.
Is there a session limit? Some insurance companies only cover a certain amount of sessions per year.
What paperwork is required to submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement? (This is usually called a "superbill" and also a claims form — ask where you can find their claims form.)
Where do you submit this paperwork? (Sometimes it's online, sometimes it's by mail only.)
