Rate & Insurance FAQ's
Do you take insurance?
No, I don't accept insurance. I'm a small, self-pay private practice whose goal is to provide high-quality, customized client care to all of my clients. I respect each client's privacy, and the confidential nature of therapy. I'm unable to meet these goals by being an in-network provider for an insurance company.
Can I use my out-of-network benefits or HSA?
If you have out of network benefits (PPO vs. HMO) and choose to access them, you may be eligible for reimbursement. And yes, you can use your health savings account (HSA) funds to pay for your therapy sessions.
Your session fee will be paid in full to me, and I will provide you with the necessary documentation to submit to your insurance provider. They will reimburse you directly. Typically, out of network benefits cover between 50-80% of the session fee.
For out-of-network benefit questions, contact your insurance provider to inquire about your benefits and coverage. Here are some questions to ask:
- Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
- What is the benefit for out-of-network providers?
- What is my deductible and has it been met?
- 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?
Why don't you take insurance?
I'm able to offer my clients the best possible service by not accepting insurance.
When I opened my practice, I had to decide whether I wanted to become part of a managed care network--and accept their terms and contracted rate of pay--or if I'd choose a self-pay business model. Having dealt with insurance providers working at other establishments, I knew the pros and cons of managed care.
The goals I had for my practice weren't aligned with managed care.
My therapeutic philosophy is deeply-rooted in wellness and holistic health. That's a stark contrast to the medical model used by insurers that focuses on sickness and diagnoses--the goal being to alleviate atypical symptoms.
I knew that it might be harder to find like-minded clients without an insurance company sending me referrals, but I trusted that it would align me with clients who would benefit most from our therapeutic relationship.
There's something to be said about staying true to your vision. Eight years and counting since I opened my practice, and I'm still kickin' it. I have practice full of clients who want to put in the work to obtain something better. And I'm fortunate enough to be part of that journey without compromising my principles.
That's a win-win in my book.
What forms of payment are accepted?
I accept cash, checks, all major debit/credit cards, and HSA account debit cards. The Client Portal conveniently stores your credit card information and bills after each session for a seamless transaction.
Is there a cancellation policy?
All appointment changes and cancellations require a 48-hour notice. Appointments are managed through the Client Portal giving you 24/7 access to scheduling and account info.
Cancellations/reschedules outside the 48-hour window are billed the full session rate.
