Session Rates And Insurance

FEE

My rate is $190 for 50-minute sessions. I provide both tele-health and in-person sessions.

Longer sessions of 60 to 75 minutes can be arranged as necessary. The standard recommendation is weekly 50-minute sessions, although a different session frequency or session duration may be agreed upon.

Payments may be made by cash, check, credit card or HSA/FSA card at the time of service.

I have very limited reduced fee slots. If you are in need of a low fee, you may check if you are eligible to become a member of Open Path Psychotherapy Collective.

 

INSURANCE

I am not on any insurance panel. However, I can be seen as an out-of-network provider. Please verify your benefits with your insurance company. Some questions you may want to ask:

  • Does my insurance plan cover out-of-network providers for mental health?

  • What is my out-of-network deductible?

  • Is pre-approval required before commencing treatment?

  • Is there a limit on the number of sessions covered per year?

  • What is the coverage amount per session with an out-of-network provider?

I do not bill your insurance directly. However, I can provide you with a monthly statement (superbill) for sessions already paid, that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.  If you are unable to find a qualified provider who is in-network with your insurance company, you may consider advocating for a single case agreement with me or another out-of-network provider with your insurance company.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE NOTICE

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can 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.
