Mountain River Therapy is an insurance-friendly practice. While I don't directly accept insurance, you may have out-of-network benefits. I've partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.

Mentaya is perfect if you:

• Have out-of-network benefits

• Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance

• Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement

• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork.

Here's how it works:

1. Sign up for Mentaya.

2. My practice will enter your sessions into the platform.

3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.

4. You get reimbursed by insurance!

Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.

It's risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted or a full refund of their fees.

There are limitations to using insurance for therapy, such as restrictions on the number of sessions, requiring a clinical diagnosis, and potential breaches of confidentiality. By not taking insurance, I can offer a more personalized approach, tailored specifically to your needs, without the constraints often imposed by insurance companies. This allows us to focus solely on your therapeutic goals and progress.

Your credit card information will be securely stored in our HIPAA-compliant EHR system. The card on file will be charged before the start of each session. You can use HSA and FSA cards for payment, and you have the flexibility to change the credit card on file at any time.

Mountain River Therapy accepts credit cards, debit cards, HSA, and FSA cards. Payments are processed before the start of each session, and invoices or receipts will be provided upon request.

Online counseling is convenient, and allows you to access counseling from the comfort of your own home from Mountain River Therapy’s secure video platform.

We all want to know how long therapy for disordered eating and body image will take. The truth is, therapy is different for everyone. How long it takes depends on how much time and effort you put into making changes. Some people might see progress in a few months, while others may take longer. It's important to be patient with yourself as you work on healing your relationship with food and your body. Therapy is a personal journey, and everyone moves at their own pace.

Yes, you can heal from disordered eating and body image issues. Through therapy, you will address the underlying causes, such as trauma and low self-esteem, and learn more helpful coping strategies. Therapy helps you build a peaceful relationship with food and your body, overcoming patterns like emotional eating, binge eating, and restrictive eating. With time, effort, and the proper support, you can achieve lasting change and live a more balanced life.

Mountain River Therapy requires at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled session or missed appointments will incur the full fee of $150.

Mountain River Therapy offers a free 15-minute initial consultation to discuss your needs and see if we are a good fit.

As of January 2022, healthcare organizations are required to provide patients who either do not have insurance or are not using insurance with an estimate of the total cost for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. Additionally, you can request a Good Faith Estimate from your therapist, provider, health care organization, or any other organization you choose, before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate for your records. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
