Insurance and Fees
INSURANCE
Did you know that even though I am an “out-of-network” provider, most PPO insurance plans will cover a significant portion of my fee? You may be feeling intimidated by insurance, but I will work with you around insurance concerns. For example, if you wish to use insurance for reimbursement, in many cases, I will be able to bill your insurance for you. In all cases, I will be able to provide you with receipts coded to insurance industry specifications.
Many PPO plans first have a yearly deductible that must be met, and then after that, they reimburse you for a significant portion of my rate. Since I am able to bill for you, you will be receiving regular reimbursements from your insurance so that when the time comes to pay your therapy bill at the end of the month, you will likely have already received reimbursement checks from your insurance in order to cover your monthly therapy fee.
I am an out-of-network provider so that I can deliver a higher quality of care, with individualized attention, and greater confidentiality.
Anyone choosing to use insurance for psychotherapy should be aware that all insurance companies require the therapist to provide a psychiatric diagnosis which will enter into your medical record. Without a psychiatric diagnosis, insurance companies will not reimburse for psychotherapy services.
If you intend to use your insurance, please check your coverage carefully by asking your plan’s representative the following questions:
* Do I have mental health benefits?
* What is my annual deductible?
* How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
* How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
* What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
* Is prior authorization required from my primary care physician?
FEES
$200 per 45 minute individual session
$260 per 55 minute couples session (*note: if you would like to use insurance for couples' therapy reimbursement I will bill the insurance of only member of the partnership)
