Insurance
Our clinicians are in network with some insurance providers. Being in network means that we have contracted with your insurer to accept a designated fee lower than our typical fee in order to provide greater access to services for members of that insurance plan. We do not participate in any HMO networks. If we are in network with your provider, we will process your billing for you, and your out of pocket cost will be determined by your insurance plan. We generally do not bill insurance for couples therapy, except in certain unique situations, even if we are in-network with your insurer. During your initial consultation, please discuss with your clinician if you would like to use insurance.
If your clinician is out of network with your insurance provider, you will be expected to pay fees at the time that services are rendered. Your cinician will provide you with an invoice to submit to your insurane carrier so that you can be reimbursed at the rate determined by your carrier. Depending upon your insurance plan, we may be able to submit your claims for you to your insurance carrier as a convenience for you, even if we are not in network. In this case, you are still responsible for any portion not reimbursed by your insurance carrier. Your clinician can identify if we are able to do this for you.
Telehealth
Many insurance carriers now provide benefits for telehealth. However, your specific plan may or may not include coverage for telehealth or you may need to take steps to access coverage, such as contacting your insurance provider. Check with your insurance carrier to confirm whether your specific plan includes telehealth coverage and to learn how to access these benefits.
Rates
Individual, couple, and family sessions are typically 55 minutes in length, although some sessions may require additional time. We regularly maintain limited client space for reduced fee/sliding scale services based upon finanacial need, and we offer a reduced rate for students, including graduate students in psychology or related fields. If we are in network with your insurance carrier, then we have agreed to a reduced rate. Generally, our self pay rates are: Couple/family - $225, Individual - $175, Individual student rate - $75. Beyond session fees, clients may also be responsible for costs incurred related to treatment that may not be reimbursed by insurance for activities, such as records reproduction, consultation with others involved in your care, such as a school, and legal costs. Please speak with your clinician if you have questions regarding fees.
