Fees

Insurance companies have begun to place more and more restrictions on how mental health and psychiatric care is conducted, ultimately not serving the best interest my patients. I have chosen to not contract with insurance companies to give my clients more privacy, autonomy, and choice with their care. I provide a super-bill upon patient request which is like an itemized receipt for services. It will include all the necessary information should you decide to seek reimbursement for sessions from your insurance company. If you have a PPO plan, you most likely can have some portion of the fee reimbursed. However, it is the client’s responsibility to call the number on the back of their insurance card to obtain the information about their benefits because a super-bill does not guarantee reimbursement. However, here are some questions that may help guide you:

• Do I have out of network benefits?

• Do I have a deductible that needs to be met?

• What is my co-Insurance/copay after that deductible is met?

• Does my plan cover telehealth?

• Codes that may be used are: 99204, 99205, 90833, 90836, 90838, 90791, 90837 and 90834, 90847, 90846.

• Ask the representative for their name, a reference number, and document this information along with the time and date of the call should there be any discrepancy

• Ask about how your plan requires super-bills be submitted and how often

Please be aware that you are responsible for the fee at the time of service.

As an integrative psychiatric provider, I offer comprehensive care, including medication management, holistic approaches, and lifestyle medicine, to improve mental health conditions. As a skilled psychotherapist, I also include psychotherapy during visits if someone could benefit from psychotherapy. If someone already has an established therapist, I find it incredibly beneficial to collaborate openly with a patient’s therapist to provide the best care possible.

Initial appointments are 75 minutes. Follow-up appointments are either 50 minutes or 25 minutes depending on if we are leaving time for psychotherapy or not.

Please contact me for my current rates.

Fees are paid through a HIPAA-compliant secure EHR with a credit card kept on file. If you would like to work with me but cannot make the above rate due to financial challenges, please do reach out. I offer several spots for reduced rates and would be happy to discuss more options.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE:

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 charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 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 health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you 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 or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
