Rate Details
I strive to ensure my services are accessible for clients seeking my support to the best of my ability. In an effort to accomplish this, I work with a number of options for fee payment. Please see below sections for a breakdown of each option (insurance plans, out-of-network, and self-pay) as it may pertain to your insurance.
Billing is processed electronically through the secure client portal, with payment of session fee/copay due at time of service unless we have arranged a payment plan/schedule in advance (e.g., biweekly payments timed to pay periods). I am always receptive to requests to explore available payment options if this would make the counseling process more accessible for you.
Insurance
I am currently in network with Aetna, Meritain, and associated insurance plans through Community Health Alliance (CHA) networks (i.e., Allied, Lutheran Preferred, AmeraPlan, Performance Health, among others). If you are not using one of these carriers, please scroll down for other available options. If you are using one of these carriers, please check with your plan to determine what deductible or copay responsibilities you may have as all plans vary with respect to terms of service. For in-network insurance, I will confirm the contracted session rate with you ahead of our initial meeting to ensure accurate co-pay rates and appropriate frequency of care within the limits of your plan (e.g., some plans do not cover extended sessions beyond the standard therapy hour).
For high deductible plans, I understand that paying full session rate leading up to the deductible has the potential to create a burden for access initially for some individuals, and I am open to exploring options to hopefully alleviate this burden.
Out-Of-Network Insurance
If you have an insurance plan with an alternative carrier, you may still be eligible for similar or partial coverage of session fees. Not all plans offer this benefit, so it would be important to confirm that this is an option for you ahead of scheduling. If this coverage is not available in your plan, please scroll down to the next section.
Out-of-Network (OON) coverage typically operates differently with a separate deductible and coverage rate, but this is not always the case. In addition to this difference, OON claims are not filed through me. We would work through the full self-pay rate (listed below), and I would then send you a routine “Superbill” for you to then file with your insurance to receive reimbursement through the OON coverage rate. I am more than happy to assist with the initial process of this as you get used to it if you have not filed OON claims before. Additionally, I have established with Thrizer.com, which is a third-party service that can assist with OON claims processing on your behalf. They can take the headache out of this process and streamline it so that you do not have to submit superbills if that would make it easier for you.
Private-Pay Rates
The full private-pay rate (i.e., rates for OON insurance reimbursement or no insurance/OON coverage**) is $210 for the first intake session and $180 for ongoing sessions. For extended sessions (e.g., 90-minute sessions), an additional $90 is added for each additional 30-minute interval (e.g., total of $270 for 90 minutes).
