Insurance and Financial Agreement
We have therapists at Suncrest Counseling who are paneled with the Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators
(DMBA). If you have DMBA coverage and choose to see one of these therapists, we can directly file claims with
DMBA for their services. You pay your copay. If you see therapists at Suncrest who are not on the DMBA panel
and they are fully licensed, we can bill DMBA, but you will have a higher co-pay.
For all other insurance plans, possible benefits may be available if your plan has out of network coverage and you
meet ALL the necessary requirements. To assist you with your insurance claims, we provide a courtesy INVOICE
that includes all the relevant information you need to file with your insurance company. We will prepare the
documentation you need on your invoice, but it is your responsibility to file the claim with your insurance company.
Furthermore, the insurance company may ask for the clinical notes from your therapy session in order to
authorize payment.
In order to protect Suncrest and our clients from insurance retractions, Suncrest reserves the right to withhold all
insurance payments for at least 90 days after the payment has been received.

Teletherapy and Electronic Media Policy
1. Internet or phone - This policy refers to the communication and delivery of services via telecommunications technology. It is not limited to the use of the internet and may for example,involve the use of the telephone for communication or delivery of services (therapy sessions).
2. Teletherapy Acceptable for Therapy - Although the American Psychological Association (APA) and other mental health associations (American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, etc.), have recognized teletherapy to be an acceptable practice for therapists.
there remains many unique challenges associated with its use.
3. Privacy Risks - When using teletherapy there are certain unavoidable risks to your privacy While taking every effort to make electronic communications as secure as communications and records are in a traditional office environment there are inherent limitations given the nature of the media involved Issues such as computer viruses phishing identity theft and difficulty maintaining privacy on the Internet are examples of significant related concerns.
The Teletherapy services that Suncrest provides are in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other legal requirements. However if the teletherapy services malfunction during a session, the remainder of the session will be done by phone.
4. Safety Plan for Emergencies - It's important at the beginning of each teletherapy session that I know your physical location and you identify for me the closest emergency room. For any time period in which teletherapy services are provided at a distance, it is important that you have a plan established to respond to any emergencies that may arise, since an employee of Suncrest cannot be present to personally conduct an evaluation. At a minimum, this involves an agreement to consult the closest emergency room to evaluate your condition, should that become necessary to protect you or someone else.
5. Credit Card on File - A credit card must be on file prior to your teletherapy session, unless other arrangements have been made with our accounting department.
