FEES & INSURANCE

I offer once or twice weekly therapy sessions ranging from 45-60 minutes long. I am committed to making psychological services accessible. My fees align with industry standards. I have a limited number of reduced-fee sessions based on financial need. Please do not hesitate to ask!

For psychological assessments, fees vary according to the nature of the assessment. Sliding-scale is offered, based on financial need.

Insurance Information:

I am an out-of-network provider. This means that I am not a member of a provider network for any insurance plans and that you are responsible for full payment at or before the time of service. Your insurance plan may or may not cover visits to an out-of-network provider. Some insurance companies reimburse at different amounts depending on your individual coverage and deductible. As such, I encourage you to check beforehand to see if your current policy will cover our sessions.

Prior to our first appointment, I suggest you call and ask the following: 

  • Does my insurance plan have benefits for out-of-network outpatient therapy with a licensed psychologist? (ask about CPT Codes: 90791, 90834 and 90837)

  • What is my deductible amount? Has my deductible been met?

  • What is the allowable amount or percentage of reimbursement per session?

  • Is there a limit on the number of covered sessions per year?

  • How do I submit a claim, and what specific information is required for reimbursement?

Reimbursement:

While I do not bill insurance companies directly, I will provide you with a Superbill, an itemized form containing the information your insurance company needs for an out-of-network claim. 

My Choice to be an Out of Network Provider:

Unfortunately, when clinicians work directly with insurance companies they typically place many constraints on the mental health providers. This can limit our ability to offer the highest quality care to those who we work with. In my experience, insurance companies tend to focus on the financial aspect of treatment as opposed to ensuring quality of care and personal progress towards goals. They can require specific diagnostic codes, put restrictions on the length of treatment and the number of sessions, and request documentation at regular intervals. My goal is to provide you with quality treatment, tailored to your specific needs. In order to be free to prioritize you and your care, I have made the conscious decision to be an out of network provider.
