Rates & Insurance Information


Initial
Consultation

It's common to have questions about therapy. It's equally important to make sure we're a good fit and that I'm able to meet your needs. I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation by phone to assist in your decision-making process.

Rates

My fee for a 45-50 minute session is $180. Payment is due at the time of service via a secure online card processing service. Credit, Debit, Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), and CareCredit cards are all accepted.

Insurance:
Out of Network Provider

I do not accept health insurance, however I am considered an "Out of Network Provider" and will provide a billing summary that documents: diagnostic code, treatment codes, and payment (aka a "superbill") at your request.
If you have a PPO insurance plan with Out Of Network benefits, and your health insurance company has authorized you to do so, you may use this payment document to request reimbursement from your insurance provider.
Please contact your insurance company in advance to determine if this is an option, and to learn about other important factors such as:
  • will they reimburse for telehealth services
  • what is the deductible you need to meet prior to receiving reimbursement
  • what percentage of service fees will be reimbursed
  • how much of a co-pay will they withhold from your reimbursement
  • what is their processing timeline
  • what are their procedures for successfully obtaining reimbursement

FSA / HSA &
​CareCredit
​Options

To make therapy more accessible, I accept a variety of payment methods, including credit cards, HDS/FSA cards, and third-party healthcare financing options such as CareCredit.
​Please reach out if you have any questions about payment options.

Payments Accepted

Payment is due at the time of service and the following payment options are accepted:
Debit Card
Credit Card
Flexible Spending Account (FSA) debit card
Health Savings Account (HSA) debit card
CareCredit Card

Good Faith
Estimate
​(GFE)

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) 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, which includes mental health care.
  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, which includes mental health care.
  • You can also ask your healthcare 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.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers.
