INSURANCE
I am an out-of-network provider with most PPO Plans. Payment is made by the client at the time of the session, and if you choose, insurance will reimburse you a percentage of the session cost. Insurance providers typically reimburse 50-80% of session costs. Insurance plan coverage varies widely, so please check with your provider via phone or online for specific coverage and rates of reimbursement.
Helpful questions to ask your insurance company:
Do I have mental health coverage?
What percentage of my bill will be covered for services obtained by an out-of-network provider?
How many sessions will be covered per calendar year?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
If you choose to seek reimbursement, you can do this with a "superbill" that lists your diagnosis and other necessary information. I can provide you with a superbill weekly for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
My clients often prefer a personalized higher level of service that is not dictated by the tight restraints of in-network managed care. With me, you control your confidentiality and whether your information is released to your insurance. Insurance providers require a diagnosis for payment and keep records of treatment, which may not be beneficial to some clients based on their profession or other factors.
I am happy to discuss your specific situation during your initial consultation.
