Methods of Payment
Most Insurance is Accepted
I am an in-network provider with all insurance companies listed in the "Insurance & Links" tab of this website. Most insurance plans will provide some coverage of sessions with me under their "out of network provider" mental health benefits policy, as well.
You can determine if you have mental health coverage by checking with your insurance carrier. Check your coverage carefully – You may want to ask the some the following questions:
What are my mental health benefits?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
How many therapy sessions does my plan cover?
How much does my insurance pay for an out-of-network provider?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Are benefits subject to meeting my deductible first? If so, how much more do I need to pay on my deductible for this year?
How much is my co-pay, if any?
Payments for co-pays are due at session start. If you are using insurance and have not yet met your deductible you may need to pay more upfront, according to your plan, until your deductible is met. Once your deductible is met your copay or coinsurance applies.
If you believe that your insurance covers all or part of your fees, please fill out the details on the tab provided on this website under "Contact Us" so that you can submit your insurance information securely to be verified prior your first session. Be sure and bring a photo ID and your insurance card with you to your first session.
- I will be happy to help my clients to find out if their insurance covers part or all of my counseling fees. However it is the client’s ultimate responsibility to confirm fees covered by their insurance and they are responsible for their portion of fees or services not covered by their insurance.
- Late cancellations and No Shows are not covered through insurance, a $50.00 fee applies. Please reschedule or cancel your scheduled sessions with a 24 hour notice, as it allows me to schedule other clients who may be waiting.
