RATES Self pay: $130 per 50-minute session. $160 for 60 minute initial consultation.
I reserve a few spots in my practice for clients for whom therapy is cost-prohibitive. I will also do my best to take into consideration your financial circumstances and/or any financial crises that arise during treatment. Adjustments may include payment plans, fee adjustments or appropriate referrals to community agency providers.
PAYMENT Credit or debit card
INSURANCE I am in-network with Blue Cross and Blue Shield/State Health Plan, Medicare, and United/UMR.
Many insurance providers will partially reimburse for "out of network" behavioral health services. You will be responsible for paying the fee at the time of service, then submitting a receipt for reimbursement. I can provide you with a superbill and in some cases file the claim for you.
I recommend that you verify with your insurance provider what is included in your benefit package before you begin treatment. It's helpful to ask the following questions: • Do I have behavioral health insurance benefits? • What is my deductible and has it been met? • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover? • What is the coverage amount per therapy session for an out-of-network provider? • Is approval required from my primary care physician?
CANCELLATION POLICY Your appointment time has been set aside for you. As a courtesy, if you are unable to meet at this scheduled time, I ask that you contact me at least 24 hours in advance. Missed appointments are not billable to insurance and will be charged to the individual. If you do not attend your appointment or do not cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled time, you will be required to pay a $50 missed visit fee. That said, I understand that illness and work emergencies happen! Just contact me and let me know as far in advance as possible.
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE/NO SURPRISES
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
