Fees & Insurance

Fees

Dr. Kiely’s fees are comparable to other skilled psychologists in the broader San Francisco Bay Area who have commensurate training backgrounds and skill sets. Currently, Dr. Kiely is an in-network provider with Medicare. He otherwise is not accepting insurance at this time.

Insurance

New patients with PPO insurance plans may wish to exercise out of network benefits (<<add link). If so, services may be eligible for full or partial reimbursement as part of the out of network benefit option. To help facilitate out-of-network claims, Dr. Kiely will provide you with a statement, frequently called a SUPERBILL (<<add link), which contains all necessary information to submit to an insurance company.

Superbill

A SUPERBILL is a form completed by medical practitioners that allows patients to be reimbursed directly from their health insurance companies.

A SUPERBILL does not guarantee, however, that an insurance provider will pay for the services provided. Insurance plans are widely variable, and it is ultimately the patient’s responsibility to contact their insurance provider to familiarize themselves with their health benefits.

use Better

Some of Dr. Kiely's clients have used Better, which is a company dedicated to helping individuals get reimbursed for out-of-network health claims. To learn more about their services visit their website https://getbetter.co/. Per Better’s website, they charge 10% of the money that is reimbursed. If your claim is not covered by insurance or applied to the deductible, then Better’s services are free to use.
