SCSMH Clinical services provided by independently licensed professionals are fee-based.
SCSMH billable clinicians are credentialed with most major insurance companies. If you wish to have the SCSMH Clinic submit bills to your insurance carrier, you will be required to sign the Authorization for Release of Information and Payment Request form before services are initiated. Not signing the authorization form indicates that you are assuming personal responsibility for the service fees. Please note that you will be responsible for any fees not covered by your insurance provider, such as copays, coinsurance, or deductibles, which will be invoiced to you.
The same SCSMH Clinic fees apply for telehealth and in-person services. However, insurance or other managed care providers may have different coverage, or may not cover, sessions that are conducted via telehealth. If your insurance provider does not cover telehealth counseling sessions, you will be responsible for fees related to the clinical service provided. Please contact your insurance company prior to engaging in telehealth sessions to determine your coverage.
Clinical services provided by student clinicians cannot be billed to insurance. There are no fees for individual counseling services delivered by student clinicians.
Financial coverage for clinical services will be determined prior to the initial appointment. Financial aid may be available to individuals who qualify. Please direct questions regarding fees and insurance to scsmh-clinic-billing@uiowa.edu.
