Payment methods accepted include cash, check or credit card due at the end of every session or at the end of the month. The frequency of payment will be discussed in the initial session and can vary from person to person.
Payments
Rates
$250.00 per 50-minute session.
Phone calls and consultation lasting longer than 10 minutes are charged at a pro-rated amount, which will be broken down on the monthly statement.
Flexible fee schedule is available upon financial need.
Cancellation Policy
If you do not cancel session with at least 24 hours notice and/or do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, you will be charged the agreed upon full fee of session.
Insurance
I am considered an “Out of Network Provider” and do not accept insurance. Some health insurance or employee benefit plans will reimburse full or a portion of fees paid for out-of network mental health services. With request, I can provide you with a “super bill” for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
If you are unsure of your out of network coverage you can call you health insurance provider and ask:
- Do I have mental health coverage?
- If yes, how many sessions are covered?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- Do I have to meet a deductible before coverage is provided?
- If so, how much is the deductible?
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your 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 charged for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and another 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.Sessions are billed per 45-50 minute session.
I am legally required to disclose my fee prior to scheduling our first session. You decide how often and for how long you would like to participate in sessions. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for Health Care Items and Services per the No Surprises Act at any point during treatment. Put simply, if you attend 4 sessions in one month at $250, I will bill you (after each session) for 4 sessions for a total of $1,000. I would be happy to discuss this further in session.
