Insurance
I am in Network with United, Oxford, and Optum Commercial Insurance Plans.
I am an Out-of-Network Provider with most other insurance plans.
I do accept HSA and FSA cards if you are out-of-network. Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part.
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?
How does my insurance pay for an out-of-network provider?
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 provider go get covered?
What is the allowed coverage amount for a 55-minute therapy session with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and how much of a $200 fee can I expect to be reimbursed?
What is the reimbursement process?
I am happy to provide you with an Insurance Reimbursement Statement that you can submit to your insurance provider for out-of-network benefits.
Why Choose Private Pay or Out of Network?
Therapy is a long-term investment for your mental and physical health; therefore, it is of the utmost importance for you to receive highest quality care possible with a therapist with whom you feel comfortable.
Going private pay or out-of-network gives you greater flexibility to personalize your own care to your specific needs.
Some people prefer private pay for additional privacy, particularly when insurance is shared with other family members.
Private pay may be preferable if you do not want your diagnosis on your medical records.
Going private pay may be an option for issues that warrant therapy but don't meet the diagnostic criteria for insurance reimbursement.
Private pay and out-of-network allows greater flexibility to find a provider who provides a specialized type of therapy.
Payment
I accept cash, check, and all major credit and debit cards as forms of payment. I also accept FSA and HSA cards.
Good Faith Estimate
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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
