Payment.
I see clients as either an out-of-network provider or through self-pay. I accept payment by cash, check, or credit card at the time of service.
Out-of-network reimbursement: If you have a PPO insurance plan, you may be able to obtain partial reimbursement from your insurer for my services. I can provide you with a receipt upon request that contains all the necessary information for reimbursement, that you can submit to your insurer. If you are interested in this option, it is best to call your insurance company prior to the first visit, to verify whether you have out-of-network benefits and what the reimbursement rates will be. They may ask you for the billing (“CPT”) codes that I will be charging. These include 90791 (psychological diagnostic interview without medical services/intake interview) and 90834 (individual psychotherapy, 45 minutes).
Good Faith Estimate Notice
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
