Insurance and Payment
My current therapy fees are $350 for the first session and $250 for subsequent sessions. Each session lasts 50 minutes, and I recommend checking your insurance benefits for potential coverage as part of my payment policy.
Insurance
I am in-network only with Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans. I am considered out-of-network for all other insurance plans. If you have a PPO plan from a different insurance company, I can assist you in seeking reimbursement for some of my therapy fees. Typically, this involves providing you with a monthly receipt containing all the necessary details to submit for your insurance benefits.
Payment policy
I accept payment through CashApp and Zelle as part of my payment policy. Payment is due at the beginning of the session unless other arrangements have been made. Please note that I do not accept credit cards or Venmo for therapy fees. In most cases, I charge my full fee for missed sessions or those canceled with less than 48 business hours notice (note that business hours do not include weekends or holidays). Understanding my insurance benefits and payment policy is important, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Navigating Your Insurance Benefits
If you have any questions regarding your insurance benefits, it's best to contact your insurance company directly through its customer service number. The department that deals with mental health benefits is frequently referred to as "behavioral health."
When you call, here are some valuable questions to ask concerning your payment policy and therapy fees:
Is my plan an HMO or PPO?
What is my copayment or coinsurance?
Do I have a deductible? How much is it per calendar year? Have I already met any portion of it?
