INSURANCE
I am an IN-NETWORK provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield (with the exception of Blue Local)
At the time of service, you will be responsible for paying your copayment, coinsurance percentage or
allowable/contracted amount towards deductible, depending on your in-network BCBS plan.
* I continue to see clients whose insurance plans are through United, Optum, CIGNA, Aetna, Value Options,
Magellan, Coventry, Tricare, Blue Local, etc. as an OUT OF NETWORK (OON) provider:
At the time of service, you will be responsible for paying me the out of pocket fee.
As a courtesy I can electronically submit claims on your behalf in order to expedite
the process by which you are reimbursed directly by your particular plan.
FEES FOR SERVICES OTHER THAN PSYCHOTHERAPY
If there are other professional services you need, I will break down the hourly cost in 15 minute increments for periods of less than one hour. Examples of other services might include report writing, telephone conversations lasting longer than 5 minutes, preparation of records or treatment summaries. Scheduled phone or telehealth sessions will be billed at the hourly rate.
Because of the safety, trust and sensitive nature involved in a client-therapist relationship, I prefer to not be involved in any legal proceedings on your behalf. My doing so can have a harmful effect on the therapeutic relationship. If you do become involved in legal proceedings that require my participation, you will be expected to pay for all of my professional time, including preparation and transportation costs, even if I am called to testify by another party. Because of the difficulty of legal involvement, I charge $350/hour for preparation and attendance at any legal proceeding. If you are seeking services to fulfill a court order or anticipate involvement in legal proceedings that would require your therapist's involvement, please let me know and I will refer you to another provider.
I accept payment in the form of cash, check, debit card, credit card and health savings account cards. If your payment is returned by my bank or yours (e.g., due to insufficient funds), please be aware that you are responsible for a $25 fee for each returned payment.
