Insurance & Reimbursement
We don't bill insurance directly —
but we make reimbursement easy
Many families recoup a meaningful portion of their evaluation costs through out-of-network benefits. Here's how it works.
What is a superbill?
A superbill is an itemized receipt — like a detailed invoice — that you submit directly to your insurance provider to request out-of-network reimbursement. It includes all the billing codes, session details, and provider credentials your insurance company needs.
We provide you with a complete superbill at the conclusion of your evaluation. Many families receive partial to significant reimbursement depending on their plan.
Tip: Call your insurance before we begin and ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits. We can help guide you on what to ask.
How to use it
- 1Call your insurance and ask: "What are my out-of-network mental health benefits for psychological testing?"
- 2Complete your evaluation and receive your superbill from BridgEd Psych.
- 3Submit the superbill to your insurance through their member portal, app, or by mail.
- 4Receive reimbursement directly from your insurance company — this can take 4–8 weeks.
