Hours are by appointment and sessions are 45 minutes.
My standard fee is $200 per session, and I offer reduced-fee services under certain circumstances.
I work on a fee-for-service basis, meaning I bill patients directly at the time of service. This is done via the credit card, debit card, or health savings account (HSA) card you place on file. Patients may choose to seek reimbursement from their insurance company if out-of-network benefits are provided by their plan. However, patients are financially responsible for all services provided. Patients receive a specialized monthly statement with all the necessary information to submit for such reimbursement to their insurance company. Please contact your insurance company to understand your reimbursement for out-of-network provider benefits.
Important questions to ask your insurance provider include the following:
Why am I not on third-party/managed care insurance panels?
Therapists and patients working under the constraints of a third-party/managed care insurance companies lose their ability to make joint decisions together regarding treatment and care. This is due to the third-party influence of the insurance contracts. For example, the type of treatment, frequency of treatment, and how long treatment lasts are all subject to the dictates of the contracts written by insurance companies. I treat patient decision making, care, and quality of life with the utmost of respect and believe treatment decisions should be made and remain between only the patient and doctor. Therefore, I am not on third-party, managed care insurance panels and do not bill insurance companies directly. This allows maximum patient freedom, confidentiality, and choice.
