For client’s accessing their health insurance for services, GPS will verify eligibility prior to your first session. An estimate of member responsibility will also be sent via email. The benefits and estimated member responsibility provided are exclusively estimates; our office is limited to the information provided by your insurer. We advise calling your carrier's member number on your insurance card to verify coverage and benefits.
For self pay clients, a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) will be sent to you through our Simple Practice client portal in advance of services. The GFE will provide an estimate of your cost for scheduled care. More information about GFEs can be found here. -

Growth Psychological Services does not submit to out-of-network insurers on your behalf. Superbills will only be able to be generated at the conclusion of services, once your invoice is paid in full.
