As licensed psychologists and certified Health Service Providers in Psychology in Iowa, both Dr. Snowden and Dr. Olwan meet the high standards required by all major health insurance plans to practice independently and to participate in insurance PPO's and HMO's, along with accepting Medicare and secondary insurance, such as Medicaid or a BC/BS Medicare supplement. This ensures that your services should be covered by your healthcare plan. However, not all insurance policies include mental health benefits. Please check with your insurance provider before beginning therapy to be sure that your treatment will be covered by your health insurance. Be sure to ask if you have a deductible to pay before your insurance begins to pay for some portion of your services and if preauthorization of outpatient mental health services or psychological testing is required before your first appointment.
If you need help with calling your insurance company or have other questions, we may be able to check your benefits for you after discussing your needs and can explain what services your insurance benefits permit. This will insure that you know before beginning therapy what your financial obligation will be.
