Insurance
I currently accept the following insurance:
- Medcost
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield
I highly encourage you to review your benefit plan and call your insurance company if you have any questions about how your plan works. Sometimes you are only required to pay co-pays and other times you may have to meet a deductible before any of your benefits kick in. Some plans have co-insurance, a shared expense between you and your insurance provider, and this usually starts after your deductible has been met.
I am considered an out-of-network provider with all other insurance companies. This means that I do not have a contract agreement with insurance companies not listed above. If you would still like to work with me, I will provide you with an out-of-network worksheet to guide your conversation with your insurance company about what out-of-network benefits you have. Some insurance plans do offer very comparable out-of-network benefits depending on your specific plan. You are encouraged to call your insurance company and find out how much they will reimburse you for sessions with me. Then I provide you with a superbill, a document that has all the information the insurance company requires, and you will submit directly to your insurance company and they will send you reimbursement. If you would like me to email you this worksheet so you can find out what your options are, please call or email me.

Self Pay
If you do not have health insurance or would like to self pay for therapy, there are many benefits to doing so.
Medical necessity: Did you know that in order for your insurance company to pay for therapy, you have to have a mental disorder diagnosis. While this is very helpful in treating a variety of problems, I do not believe that all therapy is medically necessary. Therapy is also an investment in yourself.
Confidentiality and Privacy: Your insurance company will have access to your symptoms, history, and treatment. The insurance company then decides if they will limit or deny coverage for you. While your insurance company must protect your information due to ethical practices and Federal HIPAA law, there are some circumstances when your information may be disclosed.
Client Choice: If your therapist does not have a contract with your insurance company, you are not able to see him or her unless you choose to file for out-of-network benefits. Your insurance company also decides what type of therapy they will pay for and how long your therapy can last with your therapist.
Payment
Payment is due at the time of your service. Upon request, I can provide you with a superbill if you would like to seek reimbursement from your insurance company. I accept cash, check and all major credit cards as forms of payment. Credit card payments can be made in the secure client portal.
