What are your session fees? Do you accept my insurance?
The fee is $275.00 for a 45 minute appointment. While I am not an in-network provider with any insurance companies, I am happy to provide the necessary statement for you to submit directly to your insurance company upon request. Some insurance plans with out of network benefits offer to reimburse clients 60 -90% of session costs. I accept payment via debit/credit card, and other methods can be arranged upon request. You are welcome to use your HSA/FSA debit card to pay for sessions.
Where are sessions located?
Most sessions are held virtually through a HIPAA compliant online video platform. Virtual therapy can be done in the comfort of your own home, or in any private space in New York. Upon request and depending on your treatment goals I will accompany you to specific places to help conquer your fears in person.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
Effective January 1, 2022, a ruling went into effect called the "No Surprises Act" which requires practitioners to provide a "Good Faith Estimate" about out-of-network care. The Good Faith Estimate works to show the cost of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service, a diagnosis, and a reason for therapy. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur and will be provided a new "Good Faith Estimate" should this occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill if you and your therapist have not previously talked about the change and you have not been given an updated good faith estimate.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. -You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. -You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. -If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. -For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
