Insurance
I
do not accept insurance, however, most services provided by a
licensed clinical psychologist may be covered out-of-network in full
or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please
check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
- Do I have mental health benefits?
- What is my annual deductible and has it been met?
- Is my mental health services deductible separate from the deductible covering physical health?
- How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- Is approval required from my primary care physician?
- How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
- If coverage is expressed as a percentage, is that percentage based on the actual fee?
- If my coverage is a percentage based on "reasonable and customary fees," what is the maximum fee for a 45-minute individual psychotherapy session (CPT or service code 90834)? This varies considerably among insurance companies (sometimes based on market research and sometimes arbitrarily low) and may cap the actual reimbursement sum.
Payment
Cash,
check, and all major credit cards accepted for payment as well as
direct payment via bank transfer.
Flexible
Spending Accounts
If
your company offers a medical flexible spending account (FSA),
you may consider using it to minimize your actual out-of-pocket
cost. This allows you to use pre-tax dollars for medical
deductibles and unreimbursed expenses. One benefit of using a
flexible spending account is that you can file for reimbursement
immediately or have your FSA debit card charged as a convenience,
even before the plan is fully funded. Click on the link to

information on your company's particular plan.
Cancellation
Policy
If
you do not attend your scheduled appointment and have not notified me
at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full
cost of the session.
