Insurance I'm in-network with
I accept a variety of insurance plans to make care accessible and convenient. They include:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield (PPO)
- Blue Choice
- UnitedHealthcare (UHC)
- Cigna
- Aetna (PPO)
- Aetna Medicare
- Medicaid
- Aetna Better Health (Medicaid)
- Blue Cross Blue Shield Community (Medicaid)
Your out-of-pocket cost will depend on your
plan's deductible, copay, and coinsurance — I'm happy to help you figure that out
before we start.
Out-of-network and private-pay
If you have insurance I'm not in-network with, I can provide a superbill for you to
submit for out-of-network reimbursement. Many PPO plans reimburse a meaningful
percentage of out-of-network mental health care. I can help you understand what to ask
your insurance.
Some clients choose private-pay even when they have in-network coverage. The most
common reasons:
- Privacy. Insurance requires a diagnosis on your medical record. Private-pay
- doesn't.
- No session caps or treatment-plan dictates. Insurance often limits what we can
- do and for how long. Private-pay doesn't.
- More flexibility. Longer sessions, intensives, and certain trauma protocols are easier to do off-insurance.
- If cost is a barrier and you're a strong fit for what I do, please reach out. I keep a small number of reduced-fee slots and will tell you honestly whether one is currently open.
Cancellation policy
I require 24 hours' notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours'
notice or missed entirely are charged the full session fee, which insurance does not
cover.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected
charges. I provide this to all private-pay clients before we begin.
