How fees work

Insurance we work with

I am out of network, so I don't bill insurance plans directly. Many PPO plans pay back part of the fee for out-of-network visits, and I give you what you need to ask your plan. I don't bill Medicare or Medicaid.

If you pay yourself

You get your fee in writing before we meet, and it is the same for every session. I hold a limited number of reduced-fee sessions, so ask when you write. HSA and FSA cards usually work. I ask for 24 hours' notice to cancel or move a session.

Receipts for reimbursement

I can send an itemized receipt each month, called a superbill, to whoever pays. It lists a diagnosis code, which your plan will see. The plan decides whether to pay you back, and reimbursement is not guaranteed.

An estimate in advance

If you pay without insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of your care before you start, and I give you one in writing in advance. If a bill comes to $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it. The estimate is not a contract.

Checking your benefits

Before the first session we go over your out-of-network benefits together, and I tell you what to ask your plan. I can't promise what a plan will pay.
