I am an out-of network provider for all insurance companies, and do not bill any insurance company directly. Dealing with insurance companies takes a tremendous amount of time away from my clinical work. By not working with insurance companies, I am able to spend more of my time working with, and for, clients.

I am not paneled with Medicaid or Medicare. I cannot legally charge persons with Medicaid, and therefore I cannot work with you if you have Medicaid as persons with Medicaid are not allowed to pay for services out of pocket, even if they want to.

If your plan has out of network benefits, your insurance company should reimburse you for some or all of your expenses. PPO plans will often reimburse you a significant portion of your fees. I am happy to provide superbills, or statements for submission to your insurance company upon request. You may also use your Health Savings Account or Health Reimbursement Arrangement.

If you do have out of network benefits, please contact your insurance company prior to your first appointment. Some helpful questions to ask your insurance company:

• How much will my plan cover per session?

• How many sessions per year does my plan cover?

• What information do I need to submit in order to receive out of network reimbursement?

• What address do I send the information to?

• What is the deadline for filing claims?

What are your fees?

I offer therapy sessions tailored to suit individual needs. For a standard 50-minute session, my fees range from $135 to $145. However, some clients, particularly couples and families, may benefit more from extended sessions. These 80-minute sessions are available at a rate ranging from $205 to $225. Investing in extended sessions can provide clients with more comprehensive support and value for their investment in their therapeutic journey

*Please note that insurance providers typically do not cover sessions exceeding the standard 50-60 minute duration. If you book an 80-minute session, any reimbursement statements submitted to insurance will reflect the rate for a traditional 50-minute session. While longer sessions can still be beneficial for your therapeutic progress, it's important to consider insurance limitations when planning your sessions

Your Rights and Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills

When you get treated by an out-of-network provider, you are protected from “surprise billing” or “balance billing.” When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a healthcare facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.

“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care—like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider. You are also protected from balance billing for emergency services, and certain services at in-network hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.

In my practice, I do not offer emergency services or surgical services. I do not accept insurance, so I am considered an out-of-network provider for all clients. Therefore, you will never receive a “surprise bill” or a “balance bill.”

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost

Under the law, healthcare 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 healthcare 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.
