I am a participating provider with Medicare. As such, if you are a Medicare patient, I will accept the rate of reimbursement determined by your Medicare plan, including any payments made directly to me by Medicare for my services, as well as any co-pays or deductibles that your plan may determine is your responsibility to be paid directly to me.
Other than Medicare, I do not participate in any PPO's, HMO's, or other private health insurance plans. As such, I am considered an out-of-network provider for most insurance companies. This arrangement allows me to provide quality services without the constraints that insurance companies sometimes impose on treatment. A substantial portion of my fee is often reimbursable to you through your insurance plan, provided that you have out-of-network coverage, and my fees are generally considered to be within the acceptable range by most insurance companies. Monthly, I will provide you with an invoice that contains all of the necessary information to easily apply for reimbursement from your health insurance provider, should you decide to do so.
Prior to beginning therapy, I recommend that you check with your health insurance company to determine your out-of-network coverage. In addition to the possibility of being reimbursed by your insurance company for out-of-network services provided, you may also be able to use a health savings or flex spending account. If you have them, you should check with the administrators of those plans, to determine whether they may also be used to help cover the cost of your therapy.
At the present time, my fees are as follows:
$250 Initial Session (generally lasts 1-1.5 hours)
$180/individual session (45-55 minutes)
$250 Family Therapy (45-55 minutes)
collateral contacts which last beyond 15 minutes are billed at the $180/hour rate.
