Insurance/Fees

I am a firm believer in making health care and therapy accessible to all and thus participates with several insurance companies. My current full fee for a 45 minute session is $130. I do reserve spots for clients who are unable to pay my full fee. If that is you, please inquire about my sliding scale (rates range from $70-130.)

Please note that if you carry insurance that I am not in-network with, you may still be able to get reimbursed some or all of your cost (after deductible if there is one) if you have out-of-network benefits. Please verify with your insurance if you have such benefits, I will gladly provide you with my National Provider Identification number (NPI number) to that end.

At this time, I am accepting the following insurance:

    • Highmark
    • Independence Blue Cross/Personal choice
    • ComPsych (not EAP)
    • Optum
    • United Healthcare
    • LifeWorks/Morneau Shepell
    • Quest

YOUR RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS AGAINST SURPRISE  MEDICAL BILLS

When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance  billing.

 

What is surprise billing also called “balance billing” ? 

When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.​

“Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that haven’t signed a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit.

“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care – like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider.

If you believe you have been wrongly billed please read  No Surprise Act notice for further information and guidance.
