Fees and Payment Options

I do not accept any insurance. If you chose to utilize your policy please contact your carrier to determine any out-of-network benefits available to you.  I will gladly give you a monthly bill to submit for reimbursement.

Insurance

There are both risks and benefits to utilizing your health insurance to recover some costs of your treatment.  Please read the following carefully so that you may make an informed decision.

       Benefits  -  Utilizing your out-of-network benefits may mean your insurance company

                        would cover part of the cost of your treatment and therefore ease any

                        financial aspects of entering therapy.

       Risks     -  Insurance companies will only reimburse for treatment if I submit a 

                       medical diagnosis for you.  This diagnosis becomes part of your insurance

                       records and under certain circumstances the company you work for could

                       have access to this information.

       -        The insurance company (not you or I together) will have final say over how many 

          sessions you require as well as how effective they feel your treatments are.  

          Should they deem you are not making appropriate  progress within their stated 

          time frame they could require you to be assessed for medication as a requirement 

          for reimbursement.  This should  be a clinical issue discussed and agreed upon by 

          yourself and a medical professional not a requirement by an insurance company who 

          is unaware of the issues you may be dealing with.

      -      Finally, any medical records can be subpoenaed (including mental health

      records) should you become involved in a court proceeding.
