Rates & Insurance
My rate is $195 for a 50-minute, individual session, and $250 for a 50-minute Relationship Therapy session. Longer sessions are pro-rated, and there is not a rate difference between in-person and tele-health sessions. Payment is due at the end of each session.
Insurance & Reimbursement
I am an out-of-network provider and do not participate directly with any insurance company. This means you will pay directly for services and I will provide statements that contain all the necessary information in order for you to submit the receipt to your insurance company, Health Savings Account or Flexible Savings Account if you are seeking reimbursement. My services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. However, this is between you and your insurance company.
Before scheduling your first appointment, please check your coverage carefully to be certain of your terms and reimbursement rates. For those wishing to be reimbursed by their insurance for individual treatment, the following questions will help you determine your benefits:
Do I have out-of-network benefits?
If so, what percentage is covered?
Do I have a deductible?
How do I submit a request for reimbursement?
What is the reimbursement for CPT code 90834 (45 minute session)?
Is there a different reimbursement rate for in-person vs. tele-therapy appointments?
While Health Savings Accounts reimburse for couples/relationship therapy, some insurers do not. In addition to asking about out-of-network benefits, the specific question for insurers related to relationship therapy is:
What is reimbursement for CPT code 90847 with diagnosis code Z63.0, “Relationship distress with spouse or intimate partner”
Assistance with Reimbursment
Although you can submit your out of network claims for free to your insurance company, some people may prefer paying a small fee to a company called Reimbursify who will submit your claims for you and make it easier to navigate insurance issues. I have no financial relationship to this company and have not vetted their privacy and confidentiality policies regarding medical information you may share with them.
No Surprises Law
Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act requires health care providers to provide clients a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. Providers – including therapists like me – must give a fee estimate to clients who lack or are not using insurance. Also, clients may dispute any bill that exceeds a good faith estimate by $400 or more.
The cost of my services are a function of my fee, frequency of service and duration of treatment. Accurately determining the length of treatment for mental health care prior to meeting is impossible. Moreover, each client has the right to determine their goals for treatment and how long they want to remain in therapy (unless treatment is mandated).
