How fees work

Insurance we work with

Lull is out of network with insurance plans, so you pay for each session yourself. Lull does not bill Medicare or Medicaid. If you want a counselor who bills your plan, we will gladly give you the names of colleagues.

If you pay yourself

You pay at the end of each session by card, including HSA and FSA cards. Your fee is set by the length of the session: 60 minutes for the first session, 50 for an individual session and 90 for each evening of the circle, which you pay for only on the evenings you attend. A partner may join some sessions at the same fee. We send the fee in writing before your first session. A small number of reduced-fee spots are open; ask how to request one. We ask for 24 hours' notice to change an appointment, so the hour can go to someone else.

Receipts for reimbursement

Each month we give you an itemized receipt (a superbill) with the dates and kind of session, to send to your plan, which may reimburse part of out-of-network care. It carries a diagnosis code your insurer can see. Your plan decides whether it pays anything, so ask it before you start.

An estimate in advance

If you pay without insurance, you have the right to receive a good faith estimate in writing before care begins. We send one before your first session. If a bill comes to $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it. The estimate is not a contract.

Checking your benefits

If you plan to claim reimbursement, ask your plan before the first session whether it covers out-of-network counseling and what it needs from us. Yolanda can tell you what to ask.

What the first visit includes

The first session is 60 minutes: time to say as much or as little as you like, and to ask how Yolanda works. It includes the limits of confidentiality and the possible risks and benefits of counseling. You do not have to decide anything that day.
