FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Insurance info: Please note, we cannot guarantee that we accept your insurance until we have done a full verification of your benefits. One reason for this is each insurer has many different plans with differing levels of coverage. Additionally, not all clinicians accept every insurance listed above, due to their varying levels of licensure. Our billing team can assist you in verifying benefits and any pre-authorization benefits.
What if you don’t accept my insurance?
There are various self-pay options available that can be discussed in the event that we can’t accept your insurance. For self-pay clients, we can provide a “superbill” (a bill that includes diagnosis and procedure codes) which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Our current waitlist is 10-20 weeks. Wait times for specific therapists may be longer. Wait times for kids and teens may be longer as not all therapists work with younger age groups. We know reading this can be discouraging. We are sorry for the wait.

A member of our care team will reach out by phone and email when it is time to get you scheduled for an intake. If they aren’t able to reach you then, they will allow two business days for you to return contact, before removing you from our waitlist. We know that is a swift turnaround, but please do not panic: a member of our care team will reach out approximately two to three weeks beforehand so that you know to expect a scheduling call.
-
If you communicated your preference of Anesis’ therapists with our care team, that information has been noted. If you did not share your preference with our care team, you are welcome to call back and let them know who you’d like to see. Therapist bios can be viewed here. While we strive to accommodate your preferences, please note that we cannot always guarantee this.

We deeply believe in the power of a good fit between client and therapist. Our care team works skillfully to ensure you are paired with a therapist who fits your needs and concerns, though we understand that this is not always possible. If for any reason you are not comfortable working with your prospective therapist, you may return to the list to wait for another therapist.

After you are scheduled, you will need to register to your client portal. The link to this portal will be included in an email titled “Client Portal.” In the event that you did not receive this email (after checking spam and junk), please contact our office and ask that it be re-sent. These forms take approximately 20 minutes to complete. If unable to complete these forms electronically at home, please arrive at your scheduled appointment 20 minutes early to complete them. Failing to do this may result in your appointment being rescheduled.
These intake forms serve as a contract between you and Anesis Therapy, and need to be completed at least 24 hours before your appointment. Please allow yourself adequate time to thoroughly read and complete these forms.
More details on this process will be provided once you are scheduled.
