I believe therapy holds a place of respect and confidentiality. When contracted directly with an insurance company, I can no longer guarantee the privacy that is at the core of therapeutic success. Insurance companies require information to be provided to them about clients which I am not comfortable giving. Additionally, they restrict the process, and prevent me as a clinician from practicing in YOUR best interest.
Insurance
Although I don't contract directly with insurance companies, you can still choose to use your insurance. I will provide you with the paperwork needed to see how much they will possibly reimburse. I work with with you as an Out of Network Provider.
Many clients who use their out of network provider benefits get reimbursed a percentage of their therapy fee. The amount varies greatly as it depends on your particular policy. I have found that client can get reimburse up to 70% of their rate. The process of filing with your insurance for out of network benefits is directly between you and them. I will do my best to provide whatever paperwork you may need.
Health Savings Account / HSA / FSA
Because I take credit cards and debit cards as a form of payment, clients can use their HSA or FSA spending accounts which are often pre-tax.
Forms of Payment
All forms of credit (Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover) are accepted as payment. This will include the option to pay with your HSA or FSA card which has a tax benefit. Additionally, cash and check can be processed at the beginning of each session should you choose this option.
