Fees

What are your Fees for psychotherapy?

My fee is $200/50-minute session. All billing is due by check or major credit card on the last day of the month.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not accept insurance. If you have a PPO insurance plan, you probably have out-of-network benefits for psychotherapy and may be eligible to receive partial or full reimbursement. The percentage of reimbursement depends on your insurance plan.

At the end of each month, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

I encourage all potential patients to contact their insurance to ask about Psychotherapy coverage. Some of the questions to ask your insurance company are:

1. What is my annual deductible?

2. What percentage of out-of-network services does my insurance plan reimburse for (out-of-network services should include psychotherapy sessions)?

3. How can I submit a claim/superbill?

4. Do I need prior approval or a referral in order to receive benefits from an out-of-network provider?

Do you offer sliding scale services?

I reserve a limited number of sliding scale appointments so that services may be available to people who may not have coverage otherwise. We can discuss this option prior to scheduling your first appointment. Note: As of 01/2023, all sliding scale spots are full.

Where do I find information about receiving a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges?

On January 1, 2022, Federal Legislation entitled the “No Surprises Act” went into effect. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your healthcare provider 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. I will provide all current patients an updated Good Faith Estimate in January of each year. For more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
