Fees and Insurance

Fees and Insurance

When we talk, we will discuss the fee before you come in. I accept cash or checks.

I am not on any insurance panels, but can provide you with a statement if you have an insurance plan that covers out of network providers. You would pay me directly, then submit the statement to your insurance company, and they would reimburse you for the percentage they cover.

If you have a job that offers a flexible spending plan (allowing you to set aside pre-taxed money), psychotherapy can usually be drawn from this type of account.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

You have the right to receive 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 have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a 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.
