General FAQ

All fees are paid by the client at the time of service.

‍ I am in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield health care plans. I also accept clients who have other insurance plans with out-of-network benefits and most preferred provider organization (PPO) plans. It is important that you contact your insurance and get detailed information about your mental health benefits.

See the questions to the right for things to ask when you contact your insurance:

What is my deductible?

How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover for mental health/behavioral health?

How much of that deductible has been met for this year?

When does my deductible reset?

Do I need pre-authorization for psychotherapy?

Do you cover/provide the same rate for tele-health services?

For clients who have other insurance plans with out-of-network benefits:

Clients are responsible to check with their insurance carrier to ask about out-of-network benefits.

Call the member services number on the back of your health insurance identification card and ask if you have out-of-network benefits for behavioral health services. If you do, ask them the rate of reimbursement, or how much they pay you back per session. I am in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield health care plans.

Clients are encouraged to verify whether their insurance carriers reimburse for tele-health therapy services before incurring any costs. Clients receive monthly documentation of services received and payment made (super bill). Clients are responsible for submitting super bills to their insurance carrier for reimbursement.
