Fees & Insurance

• 50 minute sessions for individuals – $150
• 50 minute sessions for couples – $175
• 90 minute sessions – $250

Payment is due at time of service and may be made by cash, check, debit/credit card, or HSA card.

Cancellation Policy

The fee for missing an appointment or canceling with less than 48 hours notice is the full amount of the session.  Your insurance company will not pay for missed appointments so you will be responsible for this charge.

Communication Between Sessions

There is no charge for administrative communication, such as payment or setting up appointments. Therapeutic communication by phone, calls will be billed in ten-minute increments. There will be no charge for the first ten minutes of communication however every minute thereafter will be a charge of $2.00/minute.

I do not conduct therapy via text or email.

I do not accept insurance. 

However, you may be entitled to reimbursement through “out-of-network” benefits. These vary by insurance company, and you will need to check with your specific insurance plan to find out how these work for your plan. I will be happy to supply you with a superbill to file with your insurance plan.

How to Check Your Out-of-Network Coverage

If you plan to use your insurance benefits for reimbursement, here are some helpful questions to ask your insurance provider:

1. Start by calling the Member Services number on the back of your insurance card.
2. Ask the following questions:
   • Do I have outpatient mental health benefits?
   • Do I have coverage for seeing a behavioral health provider who is outside of my insurance network?
3. If the answer to both is yes, continue with:
   • Do I have an out-of-network deductible? What is the amount?
   • How much of my out-of-network deductible have I met?
   • What percentage of the provider’s actual fee will be reimbursed?
   • Do I need prior authorization? If so, how do I obtain it?

A Note About Insurance

In order to process claims, insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis. This diagnosis becomes part of your permanent medical record. In some cases, other insurance types such as life, disability, or future medical coverage, we may request access to these records when determining eligibility. Please keep this in mind if you plan to submit claims through your insurance.

HEALTH SAVINGS AND FLEXIBLE SPENDING

A third option you have is to use your Health Savings or Flexible Spending Account.

Please feel free to ask me any questions about these options during our initial phone consultation.
