Although some insurance companies have difficulty in recognizing Biofeedback/Neurofeedback as a covered procedure, more and more are beginning to offer benefit coverage to this type of treatment. This is exciting news for those who want to pursue Biofeedback/Neurofeedback as a treatment option, and who also want to utilize their health plan to pay for the services. Here is some important information you will need in checking with your insurance company to see if your plan may cover services at Ready To Focus. 

For our assessment and initial consultation appointments we utilize the following CPT code:
90801 - Diagnostic Assessment

The 90801 is easily recognized by insurance companies and we have had good success with our clients getting reimbursement from their insurance plans using this code. 

For our office based lab or home based program we typically use the following code:
90901 - Biofeedback/Neurofeedback

The 90901 code may or may not be covered by your insurance company.  Depending on you or your child’s treatment protocal we maybe able to submit it under a different code for our office based program.

Health care savings accounts (H.S.A.‘s) or flex plans are widely used by our participants to pay for the treatment services without any difficulty at all.  We will provide you a courtesy bill for your records that will have all the information required. 

Lastly, in our West Chicago offices we maybe able to provide direct billing of your diagnostic and office lab procedures for certain plans.  Please contact us with details about your plan for further information. 

Overall, we have attempted to make our biofeedback/neurofeedback services as affordable as possible.  We offer discounts for treatment services for those who will be paying out of pocket and our base price for all services is significantly below what other providers charge.  Your initial phone consultation with a psychologist is always free of charge - both to discuss your situation and to discuss insurance/payment issues as well.
