Fees & Services

Services

I work with individual clients ages 16 and older.

Fees

My fee is $225 per 50 minute session.

Insurance

I participate in all out-of-network insurance plans.

In case you are not familiar, out-of-network coverage is an added feature of some insurance plans, which commonly covers 50-80% of costs for services provided by clinicians who are not in-network with your insurance carrier, after you’ve paid a certain amount out-of-pocket (your out-of-network “deductible”). Costs can end up being comparable to in-network co-pays; however, it very much depends on your plan.

Being reimbursed for out-of-network care usually involves submitting a claim form to your insurance carrier along with a billing statement reporting services rendered, diagnosis, etc. I will provide you with such statements (“superbills”) each calendar month.

PPO insurance plans with Blue Cross Blue Shield/Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare often include out-of-network coverage. Unfortunately, HMOs and most insurance plans purchased from the Health Insurance Marketplace do not offer out-of-network coverage.

If you’re not sure if you have out-of-network benefits, call your insurance company and ask them these questions:

Do I have out-of-network coverage for outpatient psychotherapy (CPT Code 90834 for in-person therapy; 90834-95 for telehealth)?
What is my deductible? Has any of it been met yet?
What is my coinsurance? (This will be the percentage that your insurance company will pay after you meet your deductible.)

It is worth it to look into these benefits if you haven’t already, as it is a game changer as far as opening up your options for therapists!

SLIDING SCALE

In a commitment to provide affordable counseling services, I offer a number of sliding scale appointments. The fee is based on what each client can afford and is determined by the client and myself.

I am not currently taking on new sliding scale clients.

If you are interested in working with me, feel free to reach out and I would be happy to place you on the waitlist and reach out when an appointment time becomes available.

For therapist and clinic recommendations, please see the Resources page.

Payment

I accept all major credit cards, as well as HSA/FSA debit cards.

Good faith estimate

You are entitled to a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a formal 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.
