PAYMENT POLICY
My fee is $195 per standard therapy session (50 min) for both individuals and couples. Extended therapy sessions are also offered. Payment is due at time of service, and online storage of credit card information for automatic, recurring processing is the required payment method. I accept debit/credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express) and HSA/HRA/FSA cards. Please note that 24 hour advance cancellation of scheduled appointments is required in order to avoid being charged for the full session fee.
Insurance
INSURANCE POLICY
I am not an “in-network” provider for any insurance companies and do not bill insurance companies directly; however, you may have an “out-of-network” benefit which allows you to see any therapist, pay directly, and then be partially reimbursed by your insurance provider. I can provide you with a statement so that you have documentation to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many insurance companies will cover 50-100% of my fee as an “out-of-network” provider. However, most insurance companies will not cover couples counseling.
DETERMINING OUT-OF-NETWORK INSURANCE BENEFITS
The best way to determine what portion of my fee may (or may not) be reimbursed by your insurance company is to contact them directly by calling the customer service phone number on the back of your insurance card (there is often a separate phone number for mental health or “behavioral health” services information). When speaking with your insurance company, you will want to ask them the following questions: 1) What are my “out-of-network” outpatient mental health benefits? How much of each therapy session will your insurance provider reimburse (this is typically a percentage)? 2) Must I meet a deductible (the amount of money you have to pay before your insurance company will start to reimburse you) before my benefits will begin paying for out of network providers? Have I already paid any of this deductible? 3) Are there any limitations to services (e.g., only a certain amount of money allowed for mental health reimbursements, a limited number of sessions, reimbursement only for certain types of diagnoses, etc.)?
