Fees and Insurance
Although I am an out-of-network mental health provider with most insurance companies, I am happy to help you navigate the paperwork and reimbursement process. I will assist you in understanding your benefits and will provide you with a receipt that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
In order to become informed about your out-of-network benefits, contact the number on your insurance card and ask the following questions:
Do I have out-of-network behavioral health benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been satisfied?
What percentage of the fee will my plan pay after my deductible has been satisfied?
Is a referral required to see an out-of-network provider?
How many therapy sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
My standard therapy session fee is $265. Please note that payment is expected at the time of service. Payment is processed through a secure online system that accepts credit/debit cards, HSA cards, and ACH bank transfers.
Good Faith Estimate
The "No Surprises" Act requires health care providers to provide current and new patients who are uninsured or self-pay with a "Good Faith Estimate" (GFE) of cost for treatment. This regulation attempts to provide patients with transparency regarding their health care costs. You have a right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
