Payment
Fees are due at the time of each session. Cash, personal check, and credit cards are accepted.
I may offer a limited number of reduced fee appointments, which can be discussed on a case-by-case basis at my discretion. Additionally, students are given priority for sliding scale and reduced rates.
Insurance
I do not accept assignment of benefits (insurance plans), nor participate in managed care insurance plans (HMOs and PPOs). However, I am happy to assist in providing you documentation for Out of Network reimbursement through your insurance plan. This will come in the form of a monthly superbill, which you can then sumbit for full or partial reimubursement by your insurance company. Please remember, you are responsible for the full fee, regardless of your insurance company’s reimbursement policies. I encourage you to call your insurance provider to verify whether or not you have Out of Network benefits, at what rate they reimburse, and the details of your deductible. This will inform you of your coverage and will help you make the best decision regarding your treatment.
You should be aware that, while your health insurance may pay part of the costs of treatment to a therapist who accepts insurance, the benefits cannot be paid until your health insurance provider authorizes your services (agrees to pay). As part of this, many health insurance companies set limits on your treatment and require disclosure of what would otherwise be your confidential clinical information to authorize payment. This includes a psychiatric diagnosis, recommended treatment, your progress in treatment, and status in many other areas of your life. This information becomes part of your medical record.
I encourage you to check your coverage carefully so you are informed about the benefits offered before scheduling an appointment.
No Surprises Act
Disclaimer: You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers, email FederalPPDRQuestions@cms.hhs.gov, or call 1-800-985-3059.
