FAQ & Fees

Do You Take Insurance?

I am an out of network provider, meaning I do not accept insurance directly. Your insurance may offer out of network benefits, which means you can see me and get reimbursed by your insurance company for therapy session costs. Reimbursement rates can vary but are typically somewhere from 60-80%, although I have had clients before who are reimbursed 100% of the cost.

The best way to find out what your reimbursement rate will be is to call your insurance company.

Some people prefer not to use their insurance because they do not wish to receive a formal diagnosis, do not want restrictions placed on their therapy treatment (like how many sessions you can have) or for many other reasons. So if you would prefer to pay out of pocket, that is always and option available to you.

How Do I Find Out What My Insurance Will Cover?

You can give your insurance company a call and use the following guidelines to find out.

You may be asked about the type of license I have to ensure services with my type of credential are covered. I have an LCSW license.

Other things you may want to ask about are:

  • If you have a deductible and how much it is

  • If you have a co-insurance and what that will be

  • How many visits you get per year

  • If you need authorization for your visits

  • Details on how to submit a superbill

  • What the reimbursement rate is for psychotherapy sessions

Feel free to contact me if you would like more guidance on this. I’m happy to talk through any questions you might have.

Seriously, I mean it.

Don’t feel bad about shooting me an email to ask a question.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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 or call 800-985-3059.
