For LPC-Ss who are confused about billing for associate services: what insurance allows, what it doesn't, and how to protect yourself. I spent months working through this, including a direct inquiry to BCBS that led to an official policy clarification on their provider website. I know what the policies say, where to find the documentation, and how to protect your practice.
We'll cover:
Which insurances allow supervisory billing and which don't
How to set up billing correctly under your NPI
BCBS, Cigna, Optum, and Aetna: what each actually allows
What "immediate vicinity" and "direct supervision" actually mean
This consultation reflects my personal experience with supervisory billing policies. It is not legal or compliance advice. Always verify current policies directly with your insurance carriers.
This is TEXAS specific.
