ALL SESSIONS CONDUCTED VIA TELE-HEALTH - "IN PERSON" NOT AVAILABLE
PLEASE NOTE- I do NOT accept insurance. I am a private pay provider which allows me the most flexibility to protect your confidentiality. I have found that utilizing insurance creates barriers for quality treatment. Insurance companies dictate things like the number of sessions allowed, type of treatment, and also requires that I diagnose you with a mental health illness, which remains permanently in your health record.
Most clients I see do not have a mental illness, they
are just experiencing a life situation that would benefit from professional support.
As a health care provider I value your privacy however, please know that insurance companies can request your records, including not but limited to, treatment notes, which include why you are going to therapy and what progress you are making. They have the right to audit your therapy files & notes, and ask questions of your therapist about your treatment.
For these reasons and many others, I choose to practice solely as a private pay provider but understand if this is not an option for you.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
