Do You Accept Insurance?

How Does Insurance Work?

To determine if you have mental health coverage, the first thing you should do is check with your insurance carrier. Although I don't participate with any insurance companies, I've found that some do provide as much as 50% - 80% reimbursement for out of network services. Check your coverage carefully and find the answers to the following questions:

  • What are my out of network mental health benefits?

  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

  • How many therapy sessions does my plan cover?

  • How much does my insurance pay for an out-of-network provider?

  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

Insurance

I have chosen not to work directly with insurance companies for the following reasons:

  • Insurance companies require clinicians to assign a mental health diagnosis in order to cover the cost of therapy. Many people who seek counseling are interested in learning new skills and strategies to improve their lives, and do not necessarily have a mental health diagnosis. I prefer not to be forced to provide one when we believe none exists.

  • Many insurance companies place restrictions on the types of services they cover. For example, many insurance companies do not cover marriage or family counseling.

  • Insurance companies may place restrictions on the course and duration of treatment. This restricts my ability to prescribe the treatment plan I believe will be most beneficial for you.

​

If you would like to file for insurance reimbursement, I will provide statements for you to submit. 

 

Please check your coverage for out-of-network mental health services by asking the following questions:

  • Do I have out-of-network mental health insurance benefits?

  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

  • What is my deductible and has it been met?

  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

  • Do I need a referral from my primary care physician?
