Insurance

I accept insurance and private pay

Payment is due at the time of service.

I reserve the right to employ an outside agency to assist in the collection of any outstanding or unpaid balances (which would require me to share your contact information and balance due with the agency).

Rate Adjustments

My rates are reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary based on inflation, costs of the practice, new services offered, or additional credentials obtained.

Private Pay Clients

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to pay the full fee at or before the beginning of each session. It is also your responsibility to ask your insurance company if any reimbursement for my services is available to you based on your specific plan or coverage (my services are considered “out-of-network” mental or behavioral health care costs). Upon request, I can provide you a superbill which you can send to your insurance company as a receipt for services rendered. The superbill will include date(s) of service, relevant billing codes, and insurance-required information about me. Please note that your insurance company might not reimburse any out-of-network mental or behavioral health care costs.

Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.

I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

  • Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?

  • Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?

  • Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?

  • Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
