Fees
I do offer a superbill, which is a specialized receipt, which you can submit for possible reimbursement if you have out of network benefits. Each plan is different, so you’ll need to check with your insurance company to see if that applies to you, and what amount you might be reimbursed. Click here for more information about Superbills

Notice
Please review the important statement below about the Good Faith Estimate.
Standard Notice: “Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges” Under the No Surprises Act.
Instructions
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage
both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charge
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the bill for medical services, including psychotherapy.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services, including psychotherapy.
You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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 or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Superbill and How It Works
How do I use my Out Of Network insurance benefits to pay for therapy?
It works like this:
1. You pay for your session. Our fee is $120 per session. We accept credit cards, HSA /FSA (health savings account/flexible spending account), cash, or check.
2. After every session, we will email you a document called a Superbill. The Superbill is your receipt for payment. It also contains all of the information your insurance company will need to reimburse you.
3. Submit the Superbill to your insurance. You can usually fax or email them. You can submit them weekly or monthly.
4. Your insurance company will send a check directly to you. The amount you receive depends on your plan.
To inquire about your benefits:
1. Call the number on the back of your insurance card. Use the menu prompts to connect to a representative or to a recording that can give you information about your benefits. Specifically, you will be asking about your benefits for outpatient mental health or outpatient behavioral health. You will be asked to enter or say your Member ID number and other identifying information. The representative may ask you about what CPT code or service code we use. We use 90837 for all individual sessions.
2. Ask (or listen for) the following information:
● Do I have out of network benefits for outpatient mental health/behavioral health?
● Do I have a deductible I need to meet before insurance will reimburse me? If so, how close am I to meeting the deductible? Do I have to pay out of pocket until I meet my deductible, regardless of whether the provider is in network or out of network?
● What is my co-insurance for out of network outpatient mental health/behavioral health?
● How much will insurance reimburse me when I use my out of network benefits for outpatient mental health/behavioral health?
● How do I submit Superbills to insurance? Is there a fax number or email address I can send them to? How often can I submit them? Is there a deadline to submit them?
● Is there a limit to how many sessions are covered under my out of network benefits?
That’s it! Many people find that using their out of network benefits is a simple process that makes therapy more accessible.
