However, you can seek reimbursement by contacting your insurance provider and inquiring about out-of-network options. Individuals can submit individual invoices after each group or request a super bill from Dr. Grusecki at the end of the group cycle to submit to their insurance. Individuals can also seek reimbursement through Mentaya. While Dr. Grusecki is happy to assist with this, she does does not contact insurance on behalf of patients.
Please note: This and other information (e.g., fee structure and payment schedules) is outlined in the consent forms that you will receive and review at the time of registration.
