FEES
Lily Pad's Counseling and Therapy Fees
While Lily Pad Child & Adolescent Counseling is not in-network with any insurance providers as this time, you may have the ability to file for reimbursement with your insurance carrier if you have out-of-network benefits. Each plan is different, so you would want to call your insurance provider to find out whether you have these benefits and the amount they will reimburse.

Things to keep in mind if considering whether to use insurance...
Confidentiality:
When seeking counseling services, it’s important to understand that using insurance typically requires a formal diagnosis. This means that sensitive mental health information will be shared with your insurance provider, potentially impacting your privacy. Choosing to pay privately allows for a more confidential relationship between your child and your child’s counselor.
Future Insurance Coverage:
A mental health diagnosis can impact the application process for life, health, and disability insurance. Insurance companies often consider mental health history when assessing risk.
Employment Opportunities:
Having a diagnosis on your child’s insurance record can potentially have implications for their future opportunities, particularly when it comes to joining the military or applying for federal jobs. Many military branches and federal agencies conduct thorough background checks that may review medical history, including mental health diagnoses. These diagnoses could potentially disqualify your child from service or employment if they are perceived as impacting their ability to perform in high-stress situations or meet physical and mental health standards.
