FEES:
Session fees are $135 – $160 for the standard 50 minute therapy session. We also offer lower cost sessions with our Interns at $75 per 50 min session. As an out-of-network provider, we do not accept health insurance directly but we do provide you a ‘superbill’ which lists all the necessary & required information needed to seek reimbursement from your insurance company – check these tips to ensure your health insurance provider isn’t cringe-worthy and has your best interests at heart. Due to the Affordable Healthcare Act, mental health services are now reimbursable so going this route keeps the insurance company out of your sessions and allows you control over your records: this could adversely affect security clearances, life insurance premiums, as a few examples.
We’re excited to announce we are now a Certified Out-of-Network Non-Participating Provider for Blue Cross insurance plans which means you’ll be reimbursed easily and at a higher amount. Please note that you are 100% responsible for our full fee at the time of your session and that whatever you receive as reimbursement from your insurance, is between you and your insurance company. We do not communicate with them nor agree to any of their fee schedules as we have chosen to not be paneled with any insurance company directly. We do not take insurance directly because they require a serious mental health diagnosis to even approve sessions, they also require a detailed treatment plan which must include our session notes which means you no longer have privacy and lastly, insurance company’s routinely reject and deny claims which creates more stress and work for our practice which takes away time from doing what we love: working with you! However, we understand if you need to use your insurance so we will happily provide referrals to you if needed.
We accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover, check or cash. We are also set up to take insurance HSA/FSA cards as well.
Good Faith Estimate
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.
