Rates & Insurance

Thank you for considering Be BOLD Psychology and Consulting. Our diverse team of talented clinicians are excited to welcome you to our practice. Be BOLD providers LGBTQIA+ celebratory, neuroaffirming, trauma-informed virtual mental health services to clients across North Carolina, and in some cases up to 40 other states. We also offer in-office therapy and evaluation services in Durham, North Carolina! Finally, we have clinicians who offer walk-and-talk therapy in Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Brier Creek!

A Note on Insurance and Out-Of-Network Benefits

Be BOLD Psychology and Consulting is an out-of-network provider, which allows us to offer more personalized care without the restrictions insurance companies often impose, such as diagnosing clients or limiting the number of sessions. This flexibility lets us design a treatment plan that truly fits your needs. Plus, it ensures your privacy by avoiding third-party reporting.

If you’d like to use your insurance for reimbursement, many health plans cover out-of-network services in part or full. We can provide a helpful step-by-step guide for navigating your insurance – just reach out! In the meantime

Here are some key questions to ask your insurer:

  • Does my plan cover out-of-network mental health services?
  • What is my out-of-network deductible, and have I met it?
  • Are there session limits for mental health care?
  • Do I need approval from my primary care doctor for services?
  • Does my plan cover telehealth sessions?

For further assistance, email us at info@beboldpsychnc.com or call/text 919-525-1873.

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 file 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” of expected charges.

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
