Payment & Insurance

Payment

I accept payment by cash, check or credit card before or at time of service.

If you are using a credit card, my preferred method of accepting payments is via Therapy Notes, a secure and confidential service designed for therapists. I can also accept payments through Venmo.

If you’re curious about my payment policies, or my office policies in general, please read about them in more detail in my Welcome Letter/Informed Consent before we begin treatment. If you have questions or concerns about these policies, let's discuss them at the outset, so that there are no surprises as we begin our work together.

Insurance

I do not currently participate in any insurance plans. If your plan covers out-of-network mental health services; here are some questions to ask your insurance company. I can provide you with a monthly billing statement (often known as a “superbill”) to submit for reimbursement to your insurance company. Payment must be provided to me directly at the time of service.

I also have a few sliding scale spots available. Please contact me for more information on this.

  • We’ll be using live video through a secure, HIPPA compliant video-conferencing platform for our appointments.

  • If you know that you are likely to need extra support outside of scheduled sessions, I may not be the right fit for you at this time. I disclose this up front to ensure all of my clients are appropriate for the level of care I provide, and I am happy to discuss this further in the initial consultation.

No Surprise Act &

Good Faith Estimate

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 was enacted on December 27, 2020, and contains many provisions to help protect consumers from surprise medical bills under what’s known as the No Surprises Act. The protections took effect on January 1, 2022, and apply to all healthcare providers in the U.S.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health will cost.

Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, which includes mental health care.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, which includes mental health care.

You can also ask your healthcare 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 your bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
