For the insurance, Many families can receive partial reimbursement for out-of-network services, even though the amount varies significantly between insurance plans. Each insurance plan has different out-of-network benefits, so it's worth investigating what yours offers.

Before starting services, call your insurance company to understand your out-of-network benefits. This conversation will help you plan financially and avoid surprises. Ask these key questions:

• Do I have out-of-network coverage for mental health services?
• What percentage of costs will be reimbursed after I meet my deductible?
• What is my annual deductible, and how much have I already met this year?
• Do I need a referral or prior authorization?
• Is there a limit on the number of sessions or dollar amount per year?
• Are telehealth (video) services covered the same way as in-person visits?
• What's the process for submitting claims for reimbursement?

After each session, your provider will give you a "superbill"--a detailed receipt that contains all the information your insurance company needs to process your reimbursement claim. This document includes the date of service, the type of service provided, and special billing codes that insurance companies use to determine coverage. You'll submit this superbill directly to your insurance company to request reimbursement.

CPT codes are five-digit billing codes that describe exactly what type of service your child received. Before calling your insurance company, ask your provider which specific codes will be used for your child's services. With my services, I typically use the following CPT codes:

- 90791 (intake appointment)

- 90834 (individual therapy 45-50 minutes)

- 90837 (individual therapy 55-60 minutes)

- 90846 (parent session without child present)

- 90847 (parent session child present)

Insurance: I do not participate with insurance.

As an out-of-network provider, I will give you a monthly account statement that you can submit to your insurance company (i.e., Superbill), and they will reimburse you at the out-of-network rate. Many of my clients get nearly full or partial reimbursement from their insurance company or have payments applied toward their deductible. Insurance plans vary, so it is highly recommended that you understand your insurance coverage and discuss the process with them before your appointmentscription

Good Faith Estimate

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, 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 the 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. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

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 health care 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

I provide reduced fees for clients who may be facing financial constraints. Nevertheless, please note that the availability of sliding scale spots is limited. It's advisable to have a conversation with me about your current financial situation to discuss the options. I am aware that therapy can represent a significant financial commitment, and I am dedicated to being as accommodating as I can, particularly for students and individuals experiencing financial hardships.

My sliding scale slots are full at this time.

There are several advantages to opting for private payment in therapy, such as enjoying more flexible scheduling, a broader range of treatment choices, and a personalized approach to your care. When you pay out-of-pocket, you gain the freedom to select a therapist who perfectly suits your specific needs and goals, unrestricted by limitations imposed by insurance networks. Additionally, you can schedule sessions at your own pace and convenience, without concerns about insurance-related restrictions. Unlike insurance-covered therapy, private pay therapy has no limits on the number of sessions you can attend, allowing you to focus on your mental health and well-being for as long as necessary. Another benefit is that private pay therapy fosters a more confidential and secure relationship between you and your therapist, as insurance companies are not privy to your personal information or treatment plans.

I provide both, in-person and telehealth appointments.
