Making Out-of-Network Therapy Easier with Thrizer
At Crescent Counseling & Consulting, I believe getting the support you need shouldn't be complicated by insurance paperwork. One of the biggest concerns I hear from prospective clients is, "Can I use my insurance if you're out of network?"
Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits, which means you may be eligible to receive reimbursement for a portion of your therapy sessions. While this can significantly reduce the overall cost of therapy, the claims process has traditionally been confusing and time-consuming.
That's why I'm excited to offer Thrizer as an option for Crescent clients.
What is Thrizer?
Thrizer is a secure platform that simplifies the out-of-network reimbursement process. Instead of keeping track of superbills, completing insurance paperwork, and following up on claims yourself, Thrizer helps automate much of the process so you can spend less time dealing with insurance and more time focusing on your healing.
Whether you're navigating pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, birth trauma, anxiety, or another life transition, your energy belongs in your care - not on hold with your insurance company.
Why Crescent Uses Thrizer
As an out-of-network practice, I'm able to provide personalized, evidence-based care without many of the limitations that come with insurance networks. This allows me to focus on what matters most: providing thoughtful, individualized treatment that helps you make meaningful progress.
I also understand that investing in therapy is a significant decision for many families. Between raising children, preparing for a new baby, or simply managing everyday life, the last thing you need is another administrative task on your plate.
Thrizer helps bridge that gap by making out-of-network benefits much easier to use.
How Thrizer Helps
When you use Thrizer, you can:
Verify your out-of-network benefits
Submit insurance claims without completing paperwork yourself
Receive updates throughout the reimbursement process
Have denied claims resubmitted when appropriate
Spend less time communicating with your insurance company
Instead of requesting monthly superbills and remembering to submit them yourself, many of these steps happen automatically through the Thrizer platform.
How It Works
Step 1: Create Your Free Account
Visit www.thrizer.com and create a free client account.
You'll enter your insurance information, and Thrizer will verify your out-of-network benefits so you'll have a better understanding of your potential reimbursement.
Step 2: Connect Your Payment Information
Once your account is set up, you'll securely add your payment information.
If you need assistance, both Thrizer and Crescent Counseling are happy to help you through the setup process.
Step 3: Attend Your Therapy Sessions
Simply attend your sessions as usual.
When your session is charged, Thrizer can automatically submit your insurance claim on your behalf - eliminating the need for monthly superbills or manual submissions.
Step 4: Track Your Claim
Thrizer keeps you updated throughout the reimbursement process and communicates with your insurance company regarding your claim.
If additional information is needed or a claim requires resubmission, Thrizer manages that process as well.
Step 5: Receive Your Reimbursement
If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, your insurance company will reimburse you according to your individual plan.
Reimbursement timelines vary depending on your insurance carrier.
Payment Options Through Thrizer
Thrizer offers two different ways to use your out-of-network benefits.
Option 1: Pay the Full Session Fee
You pay Crescent Counseling's full session fee at the time of your appointment.
Thrizer automatically submits your claim to insurance, and once processed, your insurance company reimburses you directly according to your benefits.
After you've met your deductible, Thrizer charges a small 1% processing fee, deducted from your reimbursement. If you have not yet met your deductible, there is no processing fee.
Option 2: Pay Only Your Estimated Copay
For clients who prefer lower upfront costs, Thrizer also offers a copay option.
With this option, you'll pay an estimated copay at the time of your appointment rather than the full session fee.
This service includes a 5% processing fee based on the session fee.
These fees are paid directly to Thrizer for the services they provide. Crescent Counseling & Consulting does not receive any portion of these fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use Thrizer?
No.
If you'd rather submit claims yourself, I'm happy to provide monthly superbills through your SimplePractice Client Portal. You can then submit them directly to your insurance company for reimbursement.
What is a superbill?
A superbill is a detailed receipt for your therapy sessions that includes the information insurance companies need to process out-of-network claims.
If you're submitting claims yourself, I can enable automatic superbills within your client portal.
Will insurance cover my therapy?
Every insurance plan is different.
Thrizer can verify your out-of-network benefits before you begin so you'll have a clearer picture of your expected reimbursement.
Therapy Should Feel Accessible
I know that investing in your mental health can feel overwhelming, especially during seasons like pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, parenting, or recovering from trauma. Financial concerns shouldn't be another burden you're carrying.
That's why I chose to partner with Thrizer - to make accessing out-of-network therapy simpler, more transparent, and less stressful.
If you have questions about using Thrizer or your out-of-network benefits, I'm always happy to help point you in the right direction.
Healing is hard enough.
The paperwork doesn't have to be.
Warmly,
