IN NETWORK
I currently participate in the following health insurance plan:
Empire, Blue Cross Blue Shield
Utilizing insurance is often the most affordable means of accessing clinical services, but there can be disadvantages. Some plans limit the number or frequency of sessions or dictate how services are provided. In-network providers are required to disclose aspects of your treatment to the insurance company, which limits confidentiality.
OUT OF NETWORK
If you have an insurance plan that is not listed above, you can speak with your insurance company about your out-of-network coverage. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network options so that you will be reimbursed for my services, usually after meeting a deductible. When calling your insurance provider, the following questions are helpful:
Do I have out-of-network behavioral health benefits?
Will I need a referral to see an out-of-network provider?
What is my deductible?
Is there an annual limit to the number of sessions covered?
What percentage of the cost will my plan cover per out-of-network session?
When you use your out-of-network benefits, I will complete and submit electronic forms to your insurance company on a monthly basis. This is typically the responsibility of the patient, but I offer this as a free courtesy for choosing to work with me. Your insurance company will reimburse you as indicated by your specific out-of-network plan on a monthly basis after any deductibles are met.
SELF PAY
If you prefer to self-pay or your insurance is not accepted and does not provide you out-of-network benefits, please ask about my fees and sliding scale options before your first appointment.
PAYMENTS
Session fees, including copays, are due at the time of each session unless/until other arrangements are made. Cash, personal check, or QuickPay (Chase, Bank of America, etc) are all accepted forms of payment. I do not accept credit cards at this time.
