Insurance & Payment Policies
Insurance
I am considered an out-of-network provider by all insurance plans, and I do not file insurance claims. I will provide you with a monthly statement that will include all information necessary for you to file with your insurance company for reimbursement. Out-of-network insurance coverage will depend on your individual policy. Prior to meeting, I recommend you contact your insurance company directly to determine reimbursement options.
Please note that parent coaching is not a covered service, and so cannot be submitted for reimbursement.
Suggested questions for your insurance provider:
- Do I have outpatient mental health benefits?
- What is my out-of-network deductible, and has it been met?
- What portion of my therapist’s fee will be reimbursed?

No Surprises Act Standard Notice
Right to Receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of Expected Charges Under the No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who are not using insurance or do not have insurance with 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 healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also also your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before your 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 of picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
Please note that I provide a Good Faith Estimate in my Informed Consent and Practice Policies forms.
