Billing and insurance information: the fee for individual counseling is $170-$195 per 50-55minute session.
When a part of a group, each session is $80, usually a 6-8 week group.
Coaching/Conuslting rates start at $195 per 50 minute session.
Payment is due at the end of each session. You will be charged for a missed appointment if you have failed to notify me within 24 hours of our scheduled time; illness and emergencies excepted. Payment will be charged through the Therapy Notes portal and can be made by cash, check, FSA, HSA or credit card. Depending on the flexibility of my schedule, at times, offer a sliding scale based on financial need.
I do not accept insurance at this time, I work out-of-network with most insurers, and I'm happy to prepare the paperwork for reimbursement filing, called a “superbill.” Most insurance companies require a diagnosis for reimbursement. Check with your insurance company to see if your plan covers out of network care or partial coverage under the CPT codes: 90834 or 90837. Fees may increase periodically, and thus the fees are subject to change with one month prior notification.
Confirming your out-of-network benefits for mental health can usually be done in one short phone call. Call the customer service number on your insurance card, and ask the following:
Benefits: “Do I have mental health coverage? Do I have out-of network benefits?”
Referral: “Do I need a referral from my primary care physician to use my mental health benefits?”
Deductible: “Do I have a deductible? How much is my deductible? How much has been paid this year?”
Rate: “What is the reimbursement rate for my out-of-network mental health benefits?”
Sessions: “Do I have a maximum number of psychotherapy sessions per year?”
Reimbursement: “How do I apply for reimbursement?”
