Insurance Payment Policy
RATES
Please contact us for more information about rates. You may be eligible for a sliding scale or reduced fee depending on need.
PAYMENTS
Your session payment is due at the time of rendering services, either immediately before or after the therapy session. Acceptable forms of payment include Cash, Check, Credit or Debit, and online via Client Portal.
Fees for services vary depending on type of counseling service, length of service, and contracted rates with insurance.
Reduced fee (i.e., sliding scale) and pro-bono services are available upon request and are based on availability and verifiable need.
Please contact me to discuss any concerns you might have about session fees so you know exactly what you can expect. As we complete our intake, I will typically ask for a debit or credit card to save on file, and will be run for each session unless another arrangment has been made.
INSURANCE
I am currently able to work with several health insurance companies as an in-network or out-of-network mental health provider. Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan.
Because plans differ greatly and it can be confusing, I am happy to help with verifying your benefits. I also encourage you to contact your insurance company or plan administrator and ask the following questions regarding your coverage:
-Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
-What is my copay/coinsurance amount for individual sessions?
-Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
-Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
SELF-PAY
Clients who do not have insurance, prefer to not have their mental health information shared with a third party such as their insurance company, or are seeking therapy for non-covered services often choose to pay for services themselves. Key benefits to self-pay include the minimized risk of exposing your personal health records and no risk of your mental health concerns becoming a part of your permanent health record.
CANCELLATION/NO-SHOW POLICY
Out of respect for our valuable therapeutic time together, a minimum of 24 hours of advance notice is required if you need to cancel or reschedule your session.
Failure to provide 24 hour advance notice will result in a mandatory $100 fee. I know that emergencies can happen so please communicate with me as soon as possible if one should arise.
