Payment Options
Private Pay
All fees may be paid by cash, check, or credit/debit card (including HSA cards). Checks should be made out to The Evidence Based Practice of Nevada/The EBP.
Contracts & Third-Party Payors
The EBP and individual providers at The EBP are contracted with select third-party payor agencies. If your behavioral health services are being paid for by one of these third-party payor agencies, billing and reimbursement are handled directly through The EBP. You may be required to provide The EBP with a copy of the document verifying your approval for behavioral health services paid for by the contracting third-party payor agency. The EBP is currently contracted with:
Clark County School District (CCSD) for Independent Education Evaluations (IEEs)
Department of Family Services (DFS)
Select charter and private schools
Insurance
The EBP and individual providers at The EBP are not contracted with any private insurance companies. Patients wishing to use their insurance benefits are personally responsible for payment directly to The EBP at the time of service.
The EBP providers are considered "out-of-network" providers by private insurance companies. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance carrier. The EBP provides patients with a "Record of Services Provided & Fees Collected" (superbill invoice and receipt). Patients may then submit this superbill to their insurance company for reimbursement (if the patient is entitled to out-of-network benefits). Our patients generally report that this arrangement works well for them.
Please note that not all behavioral health services are covered by all insurance plans. Your insurance provider may only cover a portion of The EBP fees. Review your health insurance policy prior to your appointments to determine your behavioral health benefits. It may be helpful to consider these questions when reviewing your health insurance. It is your responsibility to verify the specifics of your coverage and to file all claims on your own behalf.
Good Faith Estimates
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost. Under federal law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill 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. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
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.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
