No. I am a private-pay provider.

Working within the traditional insurance system does not align with my commitment to decolonizing mental healthcare and actively resisting oppressive systems. The mainstream insurance industry relies on frameworks that often feel restrictive, pathologizing, and deeply impersonal.

By being a private-pay provider I do not have to add diagnoses to your permanent record and justify to insurance companies why your care is needed and important, no third-party access to your sessions and no limits on how we want to structure our sessions together.

If you have out-of-network benefits, I am happy to provide you with a monthly receipt of services (often called a Superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

However, because I intentionally operate outside of the mainstream insurance matrix, there are a few important boundaries to keep in mind:

To protect the integrity of our work, I do not engage with insurance companies in any capacity. This means I do not participate in insurance documentation audits, chart reviews, phone calls, or appeals.

My clinical notes, assessments, and treatment plans are written intentionally for us and the work we do together. Because they are not written to satisfy corporate algorithms, they may not meet rigid insurance company standards.

If our work together evolves to include multiple sessions per week, please note that insurance corporations rarely reimburse for multiple units of therapy within the same week.

It is entirely your responsibility to verify your out-of-network benefits before we begin treatment. I cannot guarantee that your insurance provider will reimburse you, and Brittany Ahern Nwachie, LCSW is not responsible for any denied claims.

Choosing to seek reimbursement is entirely your choice, but my commitment will always remain directly to you and your care, rather than the demands of an insurance company.
