FAQ

For Covid-19 accommodations do you have telehealth appointments available?

I am offering a sliding scale rate and holding video sessions using a HIPAA compliant online platform with an expanded schedule.

How does payment work?

Individual therapy: $200 per session
Couples and families $250 per session

I accept cash, checks, and Venmo.

Unless we arrange an alternative billing plan, I will send you an invoice every month and expect payment within two weeks of invoicing.

I do not take credit cards unless an invoice is overdue. I request credit card information from all clients, which is stored in my secure online billing platform, Simple Practice. If you have an overdue balance (two weeks after invoicing), I will charge that amount to your credit card. I will not charge your card without notifying you.

Do you accept insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider, which means that I do not work directly with any insurance companies and I do not accept payment from insurance companies. However, many insurance plans will provide client reimbursement for my services. If you plan to submit claims to your insurance company, I will give you all the necessary paperwork to file a claim for reimbursement.

In order to know more about the details of your coverage, I encourage you to call and ask your insurance company the following questions:

• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
• What is my out-of-network deductible and has it been met?
• Once I hit my out-of-network deductible, what percentage will my insurance cover?
• What is the reimbursement rate for a 50-minute individual psychotherapy session (code 90834) or a 50-minute family session (code 90847)?
• Is precertification required?

I will also give you a monthly statement, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Although, you, and not your health insurance company, are responsible for payment.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you cancel your appointment 48 hours before your appointment, I will not charge you for the canceled session. However, I understand that life happens and if you cancel inside the 48-hour window, I will do my best to reschedule your appointment. If we are not able to reschedule within a week of the canceled appointment, I will charge you for the missed session.
