    Insurance

    In-Network

    I am currently in-network with the following insurance companies:

    • Aetna
    • First Choice Health Network
    • Kaiser (Added Choice Plan, as a Tier 2 Provider)
    • Moda
    • PacificSource
    • Samaritan

    It is important to note that each plan can have different requirements and it is ultimately up to you to confirm your coverage and my status as an in-network provider with your specific plan. For example, I am not participating in any of the above’s CCO/Medicaid Plans.

    Out-of-Network

    Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits. Although out-of-network coverage may be limited compared to when using an in-network provider, using your out-of-network benefits allows you greater access to providers who may have the availability, the expertise, and the fit you are looking for. If that happens to mean me, I am happy to provide you the documentation needed, i.e. a Superbill, for you to seek reimbursement directly with your insurance.

    Insurance Benefits

    You are responsible for knowing your insurance benefits and communicating them and any future changes to me immediately. It is imperative that you inform me if you have secondary or tertiary insurance coverage and that you complete the necessary coordination of benefits paperwork with each insurer before we begin therapy together.

    You can find a step-by-step guide What to Ask Insurance to help you navigate your insurance benefits and estimate your in-network or out-of-network financial responsibility but here are the basics:

    What Do I Ask My Insurance Company?

    • Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
    • Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and how much of it have I met? Are outpatient mental health sessions subject to my deductible?
    • Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
    • Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
    • Do I have a co-pay or co-insurance? If yes, what is it?
    • What are my telehealth benefits? Do they include video-conferencing AND phone?

    Payment Policy

    Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made and documented. Ultimately, it is you (and not your insurance company) who is responsible for full payment of fees.

    I accept cash, check, and all major credit cards as forms of payment. I also accept Flexible Savings Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) cards as payment. If you are using an FSA/HSA card, I will also ask for a secondary card as backup for non-covered services.

    No-Show & Cancellation Policy

    A late cancellation is considered when you cancel within 48 business hours of your scheduled appointment. This will incur a $100 late cancellation fee.

    A no-show is considered when it is more than 7 minutes past the start of your appointment without notification. This will incur a $100 first time no-show fee and you will be asked to reschedule your appointment. Subsequent no-shows will incur the full rate of the scheduled session. The full rate is $205 or therapist’s contracted rate with your insurance, whichever is less. If you are paying out of pocket, you will be billed the full service fee for the session length scheduled and will forfeit the time lost due to your late arrival.

    Good Faith Estimate

    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 do not 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, including psychotherapy services.

    • 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.
