Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept health insurance?
No, I do not. I have chosen to be a private-pay practice so I can provide care that is fully guided by your needs rather than insurance requirements. Insurance companies often require a mental health diagnosis, limit the number or type of sessions, and require ongoing reports about your progress. Working outside of insurance allows us to focus on your personal growth, healing, and goals with greater privacy, flexibility, and freedom.
For clients with out-of-network benefits, I can provide documentation for possible reimbursement.
What is a Superbill?
A Superbill is a document that we can provide to you that contains billing and session information for you to submit to your insurance to seek reimbursement.
*Superbills do require a diagnosis.
I am a private pay clinician and do not take insurance. It is common practice for insurance companies to require a medical diagnosis. Submitting a diagnosis will be documented in your medical records, which is why I do not take insurance.
Good Faith Estimate Act Information
Don’t have insurance or are not using insurance?
You have the right to a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required to inform individuals who are either not enrolled in a health insurance plan or not using insurance to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. The purpose of the NSA is to protect individuals, ensure informed consent related to medical billing practices, and protect providers’ expected billing practices.
Under the law, healthcare 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. It is difficult to determine the true length of treatment for mental health care as each client has a right to decide how long they would like to participate in mental health care services, and all services are voluntary; however, a good faith estimate will be provided and reassessed as needed.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
You can ask your healthcare provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
You can ask for an updated Good Faith Estimate at any point, reflecting your current expected charges.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
