COST

An Individual 45-minute session is $230 and is comparable to the rate charged by other mental health professionals in the area. I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spot to allow others with limited resources to access high-quality mental health care.

An Intensive Outpatient Program is charged per day and depends on the number of hours we meet per day. We can discuss the cost during consultation.  

INSURANCE

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

I do not contract with insurance companies. I am happy to provide you with a monthly statement, called a "superbill, to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. 

Here are some questions you can ask your insurance company for information regarding reimbursement:

  • What are my mental health insurance benefits?

  • Do you cover services for out-of-network providers?

  • How much of a deductible is there, if any, for seeing an out-of-network provider?

  • Are there a number of sessions per year covered by insurance?

  • What is the amount per therapy session that you will cover for an out-of-network provider?

  • How do I submit claims for reimbursement?

  • How long will it take to receive reimbursement once I submit a claim?

  • Are any diagnoses excluded from coverage? Which diagnoses?

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage, both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. This includes the total expected costs for non-emergency services and items such as medical/mental health sessions, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 

 

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
