Insurance

I do not currently take insurance in my private practice but many insurance plans will reimburse for therapy sessions with providers who are out of network. This means that the insurance company will reimburse for a percentage of the cost of sessions, the exact amount of which varies depending on your specific plan. If you choose to use your out of network benefits, you would be responsible for the cost of each session up front, but I can provide you with a receipt and a specific billing code (i.e. CPT code) which you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

If you plan to request insurance reimbursement for therapy sessions, you should call your insurance company to verify your mental health/behavioral health benefits. Some questions to ask your insurance company about what the cost of therapy would be:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health coverage? If so, what percentage is covered, or what is the allowable amount?

• Is there a session limit, and if so, in what time period?

• Do I have a deductible? What is it, how much of it have I met, and when does it reset?

• How do I submit a request for reimbursement?

• What is the reimbursement for CPT code 90791? 90837? 90834?

Cancellation Policy

Your scheduled appointment time is reserved for you. I require at least 48 hours notice to cancel an appointment. If you do not attend an appointment and have not notified me at least 48 hours in advance, you are responsible to pay the full session cost. I do my best to offer opportunities to reschedule missed appointments in order to avoid charging for missed sessions.
