Fees & Insurance
Transparent Pricing. No Surprises.
At The Arbit Center, we believe you deserve to know exactly what to expect — including the cost of care. Below you'll find our full fee schedule, an explanation of how out-of-network benefits work, and everything you need to make the most of your investment in your mental health.
We Are an
Out-of-Network Practice
We are an out-of-network (OON) provider, which means you pay for services at the time of your appointment and we provide you with a superbill — an itemized receipt — that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
Many of our clients are surprised to learn that their out-of-network benefits cover a meaningful portion of their care. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your benefits.
Why out-of-network?
Being out-of-network allows us to offer longer appointment times, a wider range of providers, and care that isn't dictated by insurance requirements. Our clinicians can focus entirely on what's right for you — not what an insurance company approves.
How OON Benefits Work
Understanding Your Out-of-Network Benefits
If you have a PPO or POS insurance plan, there's a good chance you have out-of-network mental health benefits — meaning your insurance may reimburse you for a portion of our fees even though we don't bill them directly. Here's how it works:
-
Before your first appointment, call the member services number on the back of your insurance card. Ask the following questions:
• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
• What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much have I met?
• What percentage of the allowed amount do you reimburse for out-of-network mental health services?
• Is a referral or prior authorization required for out-of-network mental health care?
• How do I submit a superbill for reimbursement?
-
You pay The Arbit Center directly at the time of your appointment. We accept credit cards, debit cards, HSA, and FSA.
-
Once a month our system automatically emails you a superbill — a detailed receipt that includes your provider's name and credentials, the date of service, the CPT (billing) code, the diagnosis code (if applicable), and the amount you paid. This is everything your insurance company needs to process your reimbursement claim.
-
Submit your superbill directly to your insurance company by mail, their online portal, or their mobile app.
Most insurance companies process OON claims within 2–4 weeks. Your reimbursement check or direct deposit will be sent directly to you.

Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost before you receive services.
As an out-of-network provider, we are committed to full transparency about the cost of your care. Before your first appointment, we will provide you with a written Good Faith Estimate that includes:
• The expected cost of your services based on your treatment plan
• The CPT codes associated with your planned services
• Any known additional costs related to your care
You have the right to dispute a bill if the final charge is more than $400 above your Good Faith Estimate. For more information about your rights, visit: cms.gov/nosurprises.
