If I start therapy, how often and how long do we meet?

Sessions are 45 minutes in length once per week, unless otherwise noted. At the beginning, you will have the opportunity to decide if I am the right therapist for you. I will also check in with you to see if our therapy is still meeting your needs and expectations. You are not committed to completing any number of sessions with me. However, I do ask for you to complete a final wrap up session before our therapeutic relationship ends.

How much does therapy cost?

I charge $180 per 45 minute session. I do offer sliding scale on a case by case basis. I do require a credit or debit card to be on file before we begin therapy.

Do you accept insurance?

I am not currently in network with any insurance providers. I can accept FSA or HSA cards. Many insurance providers offer some reimbursement for out of network psychotherapy. I recommend calling your insurance company and asking some of these questions to determine your out of network benefits:

• Do I have mental health coverage?

• What is my out of network deductible? Has it been met?

• How much does my plan reimburse for an out of network provider for CPT code 90834?

• How do I submit for out of network reimbursement?

I will provide you with a superbill that contains all necessary documentation to process your claim.

What is a Good Faith Estimate? What are my rights?

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate and the bill.
