Frequently Asked Questions
Billing
What are your rates?
My rates are $200 an hour.
Do you accept insurance?
No, I don’t accept insurance. All of my services are self-pay.
What are the benefits of paying out of pocket for therapy?
The benefits of paying out of pocket for therapy are that your health insurance carrier will not have access to your therapy records.
This means that your confidentiality is protected. It also means that we have more control about what therapy looks like. For example, insurance companies often dictate the number of sessions, and with a self-pay structure that is our collaborative decision. We would decide together the length, modalities used and frequency of therapy.
Can you help with out of network benefits or provide a superbill?
Yes, I can provide a superbill for all clinical services. You can submit this to your insurance company for reimbursement, however, reimbursement is not guaranteed. I do partner with Mentaya, which can help speed up the process of submitting Superbills for clients. Diagnosis and some treatment information will have to be given in this scenario. Please contact your insurance provider and explore their out-of-network benefits.
