How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions needed varies but generally, most individuals need a minimum of 15-20 sessions to see a sustainable benefit. Some disorders may require 40 or more sessions. The number varies in terms of the brain function at our start point, how well your brain trains, and what your goals are.
What are the side effects?
The side effects of neurofeedback are generally minimal and not long-lasting, they may include headaches or fatigue. If you have any reactions to the treatment, be certain to tell us. The treatment may also enhance your emotions, physical sensations, and/or memory of selected events.
What is a QEEG?
A quantitative electroencephalograph describes the spectral characteristics of an EEG. It describes differences from a normative database not visible looking at the raw EEG data. It also compares the characteristics of the brain waves from different parts of the brain to see how communication within the brain is working. The frequency of brain wave patterns allows the neurofeedback trainer to set up training programs to help clients increase their ability to self-regulate and improve their mental states.
Does insurance cover your services? How does it work with my health insurance for payment?
As a licensed clinical professional counselor, I am considered a provider for health insurance benefits. We can electronically file your claims for your insurance program for free if you wish.
I am an in-network provider for some, not all, Blue Cross Blue Shield plans.
If you are with a different insurance provider, my services will be considered out-of-network and fees are due at the time of service. Neurofeedback services may or may not be covered under your insurance benefits. Please check with your insurance company to confirm. The CPT codes for those services are 90876 and 90875 for biofeedback or neurofeedback with psychotherapy and 90901 for just biofeedback. We may offer special packages for those who have no insurance coverage on those services.
For all, we honor that your insurance coverage is a contractual relationship between you and the insurance company. It is your responsibility to contact them with any questions about copays, out-of-pocket fees, deductibles, co-insurance fees, claim payments, benefit levels, and issues of that nature. Clients are, of course, ultimately and fully responsible for the payment of their accounts.
