Therapy Fees
Individual Psychotherapy Sessions are $175 per 50 minute session. I accept payment via credit card or HSA/FSA.
Insurance
I am in-network with Cigna.
For other plans, I am an out-of-network provider. You are responsible for paying my fee and I will provide you with a Superbill (a receipt for services) for you to submit to your insurance provider. Please check with your insurance provider for the details of your coverage. When contacting your provider be sure to ask the following questions:
- Do I have out-of-network coverage for mental health?
- Do you cover the LCAT license (Licensed Creative Arts Therapist)?
- What is my out of pocket payment before my deductible is met?
- What percentage of the fee for each visit will be covered?
- How many visits are covered per calendar year?
Please let me know if you need help to clarify your insurance benefits.
A note about insurance: The benefit of not using your insurance is that your psychotherapy treatment is fully your own and completely confidential. It will be determined by you and me with no restrictions from your insurance company. In addition, a mental health diagnosis will not have to be added to your permanent health records.
Scheduling
Typically, we will set up a regular day and time to meet weekly. Generally, I recommend weekly appointments, but under some circumstances meeting every other week is a possibility. Currently all appointments are being held remotely via secure video.
Cancellations
I require 24 hours notice for canceling an appointment. If less than 24 hours is given, you will be responsible for paying your session fee (if using insurance, you are responsible for what your insurance company pays.)
No Surprises Act
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE: Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
