Do you take insurance?
Taking insurance is a complex decision for each therapist. By signing contracts with insurance I am agreeing to their terms, which often do not serve the best interests of my clients or myself. As I want to provide you with personalized care, protect your privacy, and avoid conflicts with insurance companies’ requirements for treatment that are designed for their own interests, I am not in-network for any insurance plans.
I do provide Superbills that you can submit for potential reimbursement from your insurance company, if out-of-network benefits are part of your plan. I can check your out-of-network benefits for you anytime. the link below can provide you with a more detailed explanation of this important question: Why Many Therapists Chose to be Private Pay Providers: Prioritizing Quality of Care over Managed Care Limitations How do I learn about my out-of-network insurance benefits?I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you if you wish. With Thrizer, you may only have to pay a copay for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your copay would be. Do you offer in-person sessions? At this time I do not offer in-person sessions. Recent research suggests that virtual therapy is as effective as in-person therapy. There is an additional layer of convenience for virtual therapy. However, there is a need to secure a confidential location to participate in your sessions with high-speed internet connection. More information will be provided regarding this modality of treatment upon request or upon booking an initial intake appointment. What are your Privacy Practices?
