fees & payment

Fees

50-minute session — $185

80-minute session — $296

Payment

I am an out of network provider which means I do not bill insurance for therapy.

Some insurance companies may cover therapy sessions with an out-of-network provider, like myself. Upon request, an insurance-ready statement that you can submit for reimbursement will be provided. These statements may also be submitted for reimbursement through some pre-tax health savings plans. You remain responsible for payment as you wait for reimbursement.

I suggest contacting your insurance company before beginning counseling to gather information about your specific insurance plan and its coverage for mental health support, as well as its terms for reimbursement.

Payment is due at the time of service. I accept cash, check, debit, credit & HSA cards.

Cancellation

A 24-hour notice for cancellation is required to avoid the session fee.

Right To Receive A Good Faith Estimate Of Expected Charges

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

Under 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.
•  Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call +1 (800) 633-4227.
