How fees work

  • Insurance we work with

    I am out of network with insurance plans, so you pay the practice directly for each session and can ask your plan to reimburse you. I do not bill Medicare or Medicaid. If you would rather see a clinician who does, tell me and I will help you look.

    • Out of network with insurance plans

    • Medicare and Medicaid are not billed

  • If you pay yourself

    You have my fee for a session in writing before you book, and it is the same for everyone who pays this way. A limited number of reduced-fee sessions are held at any time; ask when you write. HSA and FSA cards work for sessions.

    • Fee given in writing before your first session

    • A limited number of reduced-fee sessions

    • HSA and FSA cards work for sessions

    • 24 hours' notice to cancel or move a session

  • Receipts for reimbursement

    At the end of each month I can send an itemized receipt, called a superbill, to send to your plan. It lists a diagnosis code, which your plan will see. Your plan decides whether it reimburses you, and by how much.

  • An estimate in advance

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

  • Checking your benefits

    Before your first session I can go through your plan's out-of-network benefits with you and tell you what to ask your plan. I cannot promise what a plan will pay.
