Payment

Payment is processed automatically to keep our time focused entirely on your care. Prior to our first appointment, I will send you an invitation to set up a profile through Thrizer, a secure payment platform designed specifically for therapy practices. There, you can safely store a credit card on file, which will be automatically charged at the end of each session.

Insurance Information

In-Network Coverage

I am an in-network provider with Lyra, an employer-sponsored benefit that connects employees, spouses, and dependents to evidence-based mental health care. Please contact your employer to learn if they offer Lyra as part of your or a family member’s benefits package.

Out-of-Network Coverage

For all other insurance providers, I am considered an out-of-network (OON) professional. I do not accept insurance for payment or bill insurance companies directly. However, many PPO insurance plans will reimburse a significant percentage of out-of-network mental health services. I use Thrizer to help clients submit claims to their insurance for potential reimbursement.

For a quick estimate, you can use my Instant Benefits Checker to automatically run a check on your policy. If your insurance company is listed, this secure tool will instantly show you if you have out-of-network benefits, what your deductible looks like, and an estimate of your coverage. If your provider isn't listed, you can easily verify your benefits by calling them directly using the guide below.

Verifying Your Benefits

Because insurance estimates are not a guarantee of payment, I highly recommend calling your insurance carrier directly before our first session to verify your coverage. You can read these exact questions straight to the representative:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health visits?

• What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much of it has been met so far this year?

• What is the "maximum allowed amount" for a 50-minute individual psychotherapy session (CPT code 90834) with a licensed psychologist?

What is a "Maximum Allowed Amount"? This is a crucial question to ask. Insurance companies set their own cap on what they think a therapy session should cost (the "allowed amount"), regardless of a doctor's actual rate. For example, if your plan agrees to cover 50% of a session, but they cap their allowed amount at $150, they will reimburse you $75, even though my standard session fee is $230. Knowing this number ahead of time helps you more accurately plan for your potential out-of-pocket costs.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Sessions missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice will be billed at the full session fee.

Good Faith Estimate

Under the law, healthcare providers must give an estimate of the bill for medical items and services to individuals who do not have insurance or who choose not to use insurance.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate detailing the costs that might reasonably be expected to accumulate across a calendar year. Because federal regulations require this estimate to be provided before a thorough clinical assessment or treatment plan can be completed, the document will outline the standard cost for a full year of weekly psychotherapy visits.

Please note: This is a routine administrative estimate required by law. It does not mean your specific course of therapy will actually require a full 12 months of care or weekly sessions. We will continuously collaborate on a pacing and timeline that fits your unique readiness and goals. 

As required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, please find the Standard Notice: "Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate."
