—Insurance & Fees

Therapy is an investment of time, energy, and money.

 

I understand the importance of finding a therapist that is a good fit both clinically and financially.

When you book a consultation or appointment with me, your time is reserved just for you. I carefully limit the number of clients I work with at any given time so that I have the time and energy to focus on you and your goals.

As a therapist, it is essential that I live by the practices that I teach my clients. I do quite a bit of behind-the-scenes work outside of our therapy sessions so that I may better serve you, including reading, learning, gathering resources, and preparing for our time together.

Cancellation Policy

I ask that you give me at least 24-hour notice if you are unable to make it to one of our sessions. You will be charged the full fee for any canceled or rescheduled sessions with less than 24-hour notice. In the event of an emergency, we may be able to make other arrangements to avoid the cancellation fee.

I choose to work with individuals, not for insurance companies.

I believe that the most effective care includes tailoring each treatment plan to meet your unique needs – not the rigid guidelines of an insurance company.

My clients utilize their "Out-of-Network" insurance benefits to pay for my services or pay for the services out of pocket.

Out-of-Network Insurance Benefits

I am not paneled with any insurance carriers. However, if your plan offers Out-of-Network coverage, they may reimburse you for my fee. It is important to make an informed decision when electing to use insurance benefits for therapy services. When submitting information to an insurance company, the insurance company – not you or me – decides how many sessions are appropriate for your treatment as well as the length of those sessions.

I am happy to assist you in pursuing out-of-network reimbursement by providing you with a statement that you can use to apply for Out-of-Network benefits. Keep in mind, there are many reasons an insurance company may not reimburse for a session that you have paid for. It is your responsibility to discuss your insurance benefits with your insurance provider to determine your coverage eligibility. See below for a list of helpful questions to help guide the conversation with your insurance carrier.

  • • Do I have out-of-network coverage for outpatient mental health services?

    • If yes, what is the coverage before and after I reach my deductible?

    • How much is my annual deductible? How much has been met so far this year?

    • Do my expenses with out-of-network providers count towards the deductible?

    • What is the specific percentage or dollar amount coverage for out-of-network outpatient mental health services?
    (You can use the billing codes 90791 for our initial appointment and 90834 or 90837 for on-going sessions to check the specific coverage amounts).

    • Is telehealth/online therapy covered by my out-of-network benefits?

    • What information do you need for me to submit for out-of-network reimbursement?

    • Do I need a referral to see out-of-network providers? If so, where can I get the referral?

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
