In-Network Insurance Coverage
Happy Bee Therapy accepts select insurance plans across Texas. To manage insurance benefits seamlessly, I partner with external, secure platforms that verify coverage and process claims directly.
💳 Accepted Insurance Carriers
Insurance benefits for therapy sessions are managed through Headway or Loma.
To verify your specific insurance coverage, co-pays, or deductible status prior to your first session, please call (832) 979-1588 or book a free 15-minute consultation through the schedule bee.
Self-Pay Practice & Sliding Scale Care
Happy Bee Therapy also operates as a self-pay practice managed through SimplePractice.
To view individual session fees or check current availability, please click the floating schedule bee to access the client portal. Cancellation fees following the 24-hour free cancellation window can be waived if the session is rescheduled, and fee waivers are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
🌱 Sliding Scale Availability
To keep therapy accessible, Happy Bee Therapy maintains a limited number of dedicated spaces for clients on a sliding-scale fee schedule. To learn more about our philosophy on care, feel free to explore our Common Buzzes FAQ page.
Out-of-Network Insurance Reimbursement
If you have an insurance provider other than BCBS Texas, Curative, Cigna or Aetna, you may still be eligible for reimbursement through out-of-network benefits. We provide detailed monthly invoices (superbills) upon request, which you can submit directly to your carrier.
🐝 Buzz Tip: Questions for Your Insurance Provider
When calling your insurance provider to verify out-of-network mental health coverage, we recommend asking these specific questions:
- "Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health therapy (CPT code 90837)?"
- "What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much of it has been met this year?"
- "What is the allowed amount or reimbursement rate for a 53-minute individual therapy session?"
🔒 Data Security, HIPAA Compliance, & Privacy First
Your privacy and medical confidentiality are paramount. All three of our partner platforms—SimplePractice (EHR & client portal), Headway (insurance processing), and Loma (EMDR billing)—are fully HIPAA-compliant, encrypted, and secure.
Furthermore, happybeetherapy.com is strictly compliant with privacy standards and utilizes zero third-party tracking cookies or ad-tech pixels. You can read our complete commitments to client data protection in our Privacy Policy.
📋 Good Faith Estimate & Pricing Transparency
Under the federal No Surprises Act and Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC) guidelines, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the total expected cost of your non-emergency mental health care before scheduling or upon request.
- Estimate Upon Request: You can request a written Good Faith Estimate at any time prior to scheduling a session. We will provide your estimate within 3 business days of your request.
- Automatic Estimate When Scheduling: When you schedule a session as a self-pay or out-of-network client, a written Good Faith Estimate will be provided to you in writing via SimplePractice.
- Dispute Protection: If you receive a bill that is at least $400 higher than your written Good Faith Estimate, federal law allows you to dispute the bill.
For questions about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or to request an estimate before booking, call our office directly at (832) 979-1588 or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
