Insurance
I file some but not all insurance claims in this practice. If I accept your insurance you will be required to pay your co-pay portion at the time of service and I will file the claim for the portion beyond your co-pay. If I do not accept your insurance, your insurance plan will consider me "out-of-network" and I will provide you with the documentation you need to file your own insurance claim. You may want to contact your insurance company ahead of time to determine if they will reimburse you for any portion of my services. Click here to see the current health insurance plans I accept.
PLEASE NOTE: if your insurer is MEDICARE you will be asked to sign a short contract with me that MEDICARE requires of all healthcare providers who have opted-out of MEDICARE. This contract states that you will assume responsibility for paying the fee for your service and that neither you nor I will submit the charge to MEDICARE for reimbursement. You may see this contract by clicking here. I will provide the actual copy to sign before our work together begins.
Because the submission of claims for mental health services to some insurers may result in increased premiums, difficulty obtaining new insurance, and your insurer’s knowledge of and potential inquiry into your mental health diagnosis and treatment (including their request to receive copies of all or part of your file), you may wish to not use your insurance or to not submit these claims to avoid these negative impacts and to protect your privacy. I encourage you to learn more about the impact of submission of mental health claims to your insurer and I leave the decision about whether to use your insurance and/or to submit/not submit claims up to you.
Fees
No psychologist or physician can guarantee a certain outcome following treatment—neither can nor will I. What I can guarantee, however, is that you will have access to my clinical knowledge, skill, training and experience as it specifically applies to helping you do the work needed to achieve as much as you can toward your goals. Because I have invested a tremendous amount of my own time, energy, and finances in developing this clinical knowledge, skill, training and experience, I charge the fee-for-service amounts described below. Worker's Compensation and/or Disability cases are billed according to a different fee schedule as are insurance companies. If we agree that working together will be beneficial to you and I accept you as a patient, you will be expected to pay, at the beginning of each session, the fee corresponding to the service provided unless I have an agreement with a third party payor for you. You may pay using cash, check, debit or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover).
