I am a fee-for-service provider, which means that I do not take insurance and do not charge your insurance company directly. I have chosen this intentionally so that we have more control together over your treatment. Insurance companies like to dictate when, how much, and what type of therapy you have.
Not using insurance allows us to give you the treatment you are asking for (and need!) without the insurance company dictating everything we do. If you receive any Out of Network (OON) benefits from your insurance coverage, I can offer a receipt with appropriate details for you to request reimbursement from your insurance carrier if applicable. Please verify the specific requirements for reimbursement with your insurance provider.
I charge $225 for the initial appointment (intake). Each follow-up session is $175 per 50 minute session. In certain circumstances, you may qualify for a lower fee.
Payment
Payment is due at time of service and I accept cash, check, or credit card payments, including Health Spending Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards. If you choose to request "out-of-network" reimbursement from your insurance provider or use an HSA/FSA for payment, I am willing to provide a detailed invoice that you can submit directly to your insurance company.
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
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.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, 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
