Billing and Insurance

Insurance:

Dr. Peterson accepts a range of insurance plans and will submit claims on your behalf. Each plan is unique, with some still requiring an out-of-pocket expense (i.e. deductible, co-insurance, and/or copay). She is paneled with the following plans: 

• Aetna

  • Meritan 

  • Multiplan

• Blue Cross

  • Premera

  • LifeWise 

  • Heritage

  • Sherwood

  • Anthem

  • Blue Card

• Blue Shield

  • Regence

  • Health Management Administrators (HMA)

  • TRICARE Remote

  • UMR

If your insurance plan is not listed, Dr. Peterson can provide a "superbill", which is like a receipt that you submit to your insurance company after paying out of pocket. Each insurance company is different, but many will reimburse a portion of the expense. 

Please note that insurance does not cover academic testing (i.e. testing to determine learning disabilities). Insurance has determined that academic testing can be provided by the school district in the determination of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). 

Out of pocket rate: 

Initial intake: $250

53+ minutes of therapy: $200

38-52 minutes of therapy: $175

16-37 minutes of therapy: $150

1 hour of testing, data interpretation, and/or report writing: $200

It is important to note that a psychological evaluation can take multiple hours for test administration, scoring, integration of data, and development of a report. Generally, testing requires 10-20 hours and this can range from $1,700-3,000
