Insurance
I do not accept insurance at this time. The reason for this is simple….I feel strongly that the therapeutic process is a very personal and private thing and should only be shared with those who absolutely need to know about it. I also find that clients are more willing to come to counseling when they are not worried about what their insurance company will find out. In order for insurance to cover you or your child’s therapy sessions, diagnostic criteria for a mental health disorder must be met. This diagnosis, as well as the treatment plan, becomes a part of you or your child’s permanent insurance medical record. I believe that it is your choice regarding whether you choose to notify your insurance company that you are receiving services.
Although I do not currently participate with insurance companies, the services provided are often reimbursable at 50% – 80% through your insurance plan’s out-of-network benefits. On a monthly basis, I will provide you with a receipt, called a Superbill, that contains all the necessary information required by insurance companies. You can submit this bill to the insurance company to be compensated through your out-of-network benefits.
If you are interested in learning about what your plan covers, call the number on the back of your insurance card and inquire about their reimbursement policy for “Outpatient Psychotherapy” with an “Out of Network Provider.”
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
