Do you accept insurance?

Due to the limitations in treatment choice and confidentiality that occur when using health insurance, I do not work directly with insurance providers. (If you would like further explanation about these issues, please feel free to email me.)

However if you desire to use your insurance, I would be glad to provide you with a receipt (called a “superbill”) to submit for reimbursement. Since insurance providers and plans vary in their coverage, it is best to call the member number listed on your insurance card and ask the following questions:

1) Am I covered for individual and/or couples counseling? (Please note that many insurance plans do not cover couples.)
2) Am I covered to see an “out-of-network” provider or only “in-network?” (I would be considered out-of-network.)
3) How much is my deductible? (Often the deductible is the same for either in or out-of-network.)
4) What percentage of the fee is reimbursed?

Please note that the “No Surprises Act” is now in effect, as of January 1, 2022. 

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any nonemergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.
