Fees and Insurance
Cost Per Session
Insurance
My rate for a 50 minute session is $175.
You can use your Health Savings Account to pay for services, which effectively reduces your costs given the pre-tax dollars invested in HSAs. Insurance may partially reimburse you (see more below). Payments are due at the time of service and I accept cash, checks, or credit cards. Please click here to view my "Fee Schedule and Assignment of Benefits".
Out-of-Network Benefits
I accept Anthem/BCBS insurance.
Typically your insurance will cover a portion of each visit, but the amount you pay is determined by your insurance carrier. I strongly advise you contact your insurance provider before coming to the first appointment so that you know exactly what services you are covered for and the cost of your co-pay.
Good Faith Estimate of Costs of Services
Clients often use their "out-of-network" insurance benefits to obtain some reimbursement for services. If you choose to pursue your out-of-network benefits, then I will send you a monthly invoice (also known as a “superbill”) that you can use to file an insurance claim. The process for filing a claim and the amount you receive in reimbursement depends on your particular plan so I recommend first calling your insurance company and obtaining additional information.
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. Please let me know if you would like to receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your scheduled service. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
