Insurance and Fees
Insurance
I am not contracted with any insurance agencies, nor am I a Medicare provider.
I can give you with a detailed receipt for therapy services performed for you, to submit to your insurance carrier for possible reimbursement. Most insurance plans have an annual out-of-pocket maximum, meaning that once you’ve paid this amount, your insurance will most likely cover your medical benefits (including psychotherapy) for the remainder of the year. Of course, you’ll want to check with your insurance company about the specifics for your particular plan. You can also use flexible spending accounts and medical or health savings accounts to pay for your sessions.
Here are some questions that might be helpful to ask your insurance company:
Does my plan offer any out-of-network benefits for mental health?
Do I have a deductible? If yes, how much of it has already been met?
Are there any limitations on the number of sessions my plan covers for mental health?
How much will I get reimbursed per visit when I see an out-of-network mental health provider? What is the maximum allowable amount I will get reimbursed?
Do I need any type of prior approval or referral in order to get reimbursed?
Fees
My rate is $190 for a 50-minute individual therapy session.
My rate is $225 for a 50-minute couples therapy session.
In order to provide services to as many people in need as possible and to accommodate those experiencing financial hardship, I reserve some appointment slots for sliding scale services. For such slots, your fee is determined based on income. Please call or email me to determine what fee level you are eligible to receive.
