A 15-minute call to discuss what is happening, what you hope will change and whether the practice may fit.

Out-of-Network Support

Using Your Out-of-Network Benefits With Thrizer

Carter Cares partners with Thrizer, a platform for checking estimated benefits, paying for sessions and managing supported insurance claims.

Pay the Full Fee

You pay for the session. Thrizer submits supported claims and tracks reimbursement.

Thrizer Pay

Eligible clients may pay an estimated out-of-pocket amount at the session instead of the full fee. Thrizer explains its fees before you choose.

Insurance makes the final decision on coverage and reimbursement. No amount can be promised.

Private Pay

Private Pay, Superbills and Thrizer

We do not participate in insurance networks. Superbills remain available on request if you prefer submitting claims yourself rather than using Thrizer.

Ask your plan about out-of-network mental health benefits, your deductible and submission rules.

Cancellation Policy

When Plans Change

Please give 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and missed sessions are charged the full session fee.

Is It Worth It?

An honest answer about the commitment

Therapy is a real expense. You are paying for focused weekly time and clear goals from the first session, with no long contract.

The free consultation lets you discuss cost before booking.

Good Faith Estimate

Your Right to Expected Cost Information

Self-pay clients have the right to receive a good faith estimate of expected charges. You can ask for one before your first session.

Clear From the Start

Questions about cost belong in the conversation.

Use the free phone consultation to ask about fees, format and scheduling before making a decision.
