Private Pay
- $225 per 50-minute psychotherapy session
Insurance
I currently accept:
- Medicare
- Optum
- United Behavioral Health (UBH)
If you have a PPO plan with out-of-network mental health benefits, I can also provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Please contact your insurance provider to verify your mental health benefits and eligibility.
Payment
I accept cash, check Paypal, and all major credit cards as forms of payment.
Fees may be considered a tax-deductible medical expense, check with your accountant.
Side note about insurance billing: Please be aware with the health care reform act, filing an insurance claim may result in a “diagnosis” being attached to your medical record permanently; for this reason many clients prefer not to submit bills to their insurance for possible reimbursement. Additionally, insurance typically only reimburses for a “mental health” diagnosis, such as depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, etc. Another difficulty with billing insurance is that a plan administrator may make a decision on maximum number of visits and determine if therapy seems “necessary”.
Cancellation Policy
If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.
