All therapy appointments are presently conducted via video from my confidential office using a HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform.
FEES & PAYMENT:
Payments are accepted via IvyPay, Venmo, PayPal, all major credit cards, and health savings accounts.
INSURANCE: I don't accept health insurance, primarily so I may provide a higher level of privacy for my clients and avoid third-party restrictions that can limit or interfere with client treatment.
I do provide monthly superbills to clients seeking reimbursement from insurance when their health plan covers some or all of the cost of out-of-network/OON mental health services.
OON services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan, or not at all, so it is important to check your coverage carefully before beginning treatment by asking your insurance provider the following questions:
CANCELLATIONS: Other than in cases of emergencies, should you need to cancel or reschedule your session please contact me at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment to avoid being charged the full fee for a missed session or late cancellation.
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES:
Under the "No Surprises Act" (which became law on 1/1/2022), you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” from any of your healthcare providers, including mental health professionals. A Good Faith Estimate is a written estimate by your healthcare provider attempting to predict how much your treatment may cost over time.
Under the law, healthcare providers must provide patients who don’t have insurance or are not using their insurance with Good Faith Estimates upon request. You can ask for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than the estimate you received, you have the right to dispute those charges (make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate). For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or how to dispute a bill, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
