Rates

I am out-of-network with all insurance providers. This means that you are responsible for paying out-of-pocket for sessions due at the time of service. However, to make therapy more accessible, I can provide you with a superbill (an itemized statement) that you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement depending on your benefits plan. Below are some questions to ask your insurance provider regarding mental health/therapy and out-of-network benefits:

  • Is mental health included in my insurance plan? If yes, what are my out-of network benefits regarding mental health?

  • What is my copay, coinsurance, or deductible for out-of-network mental health visits? Have I met the deductible yet?

  • How many therapy sessions are covered per calendar year, and do I need prior authorization?

  • Does this include seeing a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA)?

  • What is the reimbursement rate for individual therapy sessions?

  • What is the process for submitting claims for out-of-network therapy?

No Surprises/Good Faith Estimate: As per the No Surprises Act, you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate for your cost of treatment. This is meant to protect out of pocket clients from surprise medical bills. A Good Faith Estimate is available upon scheduling or by request. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Insurance

  • I am motivated to help my clients and myself live our best lives. Insurance companies are motivated to make as much money as possible. These goals are not in alignment. Insurance reimbursement rates do not allow therapists to make a living wage while maintaining a reasonable caseload. Also, in my experience, insurance companies’ ideas about what is best for clients (actually what’s best for the insurance company) hinder therapists’ ability to use their clinical judgment and experience to provide clients with the best care. I believe that therapists’ time and skills should be used to assist clients, not trying to extract payment from and justify care to a broken system. 

    I support therapists who have the resources to work within the insurance system. For my own well-being and to provide the best service to clients, I choose to opt out.
