Insurance Acccepted

  • CIGNA

Finances should not be a barrier for obtaining support. I do my best to work with people and their circumstances. If you do not have insurance but are interested in working with me, please contact me to discuss your options.

Out-of-Network

Being an out of network provider gives you and your therapist some flexibility.

  • You and your therapist determine the duration of therapy.
  • You can obtain supportive therapy on its own or beyond meeting your initial therapeutic goals.
  • Limited information is required for you to receive reimbursement from your insurance (e.g., date of service, fees paid and diagnosis).

Getting Reimbursed from your Insurance

When you work with a therapist that is considered an out-of-network provider you must take the following steps to get reimbursed.

  • You are responsible for paying for services the day they are rendered.
  • Contact your health insurance to confirm that they will reimburse you if you were to see an out-of-network provider. Most PPO plans will reimburse a portion but every insurance plan differs.
  • The ratio of reimbursement depends on the insurance but most insurance plans reimburse 50-80% of the session fee. Upon paying for services, the therapist will provide you with a receipt for your payment (e.g., a superbill).
  • Please note, the superbill must include your diagnosis and this will become a part of your record with your insurance company.
    • People are usually alarmed when they realize that insurances need to see a diagnosis. However, a diagnosis in many cases is “reason for services” which could be a relationship break up, loss of a loved one, and other type of relational concerns.
  • You will submit a copy of this receipt to your insurance and wait for reimbursement.
