INSURANCE
I am not in-network with insurance, but I will provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Being out-of-network allows me the freedom to make the best clinical decisions for you without the influence of insurance administrators. For example, if you need more frequent or longer sessions, I can provide this without disruption to your treatment. Your insurance, however, may not deem sessions medically necessary based on their assessment of your symptoms. They may also dispute the accuracy of your diagnosis or only allow a limited number of sessions.
DISCOUNTED FEES
For those who may not have the financial resources to pay for treatment with me, I maintain part of my practice for individuals with financial limitations. If you think you may qualify, the fee will be established based on your income. Proof of income is required.

ELECTRONIC CONSENT FORMS
For accessibility, I use an electronic HIPAA compliant electronic health records service called Simple Practice to email you any forms that you will need to sign for services. If you would like to fill them out in a hardcopy form, that is also an option. When you reach out please let me know if you have a preference on how the forms get completed.
SUPERBILL
Since I am out-of-network with insurance, I will provide monthly superbills. A superbill is a receipt of paid service that includes your diagnosis. Based on your insurance plan, and whether your insurance company deems your diagnosis to be pre-existing, the reimbursement amount may vary depending on your insurance plan.
Submitting superbills goes toward the deductible, which you will need to meet before you get the reimbursement. I encourage you to call your insurance company directly to request the following information:
-
Request the reimbursement (percentage) rate for CPT code 90837 (individual therapy for 52-60 minutes).
-
Ask what the “allowable” dollar amount is for CPT code 90837 (this is the amount insurance decides the service is worth to them). For instance, if they reimburse 50% and their allowable is $100, they will reimburse $50 for each session.
