How fees work
The questions families ask before a first session.
Insurance we work with
Nurture is in network with some commercial plans and out of network with others. We do not take Medicare or MassHealth (Medicaid). If you need a practice that does, we will give you the names of colleagues.

If you pay yourself
If you pay yourself, we give you the fee in writing before your first session. You pay at the end of each session by card, including HSA and FSA cards. A few reduced-fee spots open from time to time; ask how to request one. We ask for 24 hours' notice to change an appointment.
Receipts for reimbursement
Each month we give you an itemized receipt (a superbill) to send to your plan, which may reimburse part of out-of-network care. It carries a diagnosis code your insurer can see. Your plan decides whether it pays anything, so ask it before you start.
An estimate in advance
If you pay without insurance, you have the right to receive a written Good Faith Estimate of what your care will cost before you start. We give you one before your first session. If your final bill is $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it. The estimate is not a contract.
Checking your benefits
Our coordinator checks your benefits before the first session and tells you what your plan says about visits and copays. You can also call the number on the back of your insurance card.
