Using Your Insurance (Out-of-Network Reimbursement)

Although I am not currently in-network with any insurance plans, many clients choose to work with me and utilize their out-of-network benefits through their insurance provider. If you have a PPO or POS plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for our sessions.

To support this, I offer superbills – itemized receipts that include all necessary information for you to submit a claim to your insurance. Superbills include session dates, CPT codes, diagnosis codes, and provider information.

Please note:

  • You are responsible for paying the full session fee at the time of service.
  • Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual insurance plan.
  • I recommend calling your insurance provider in advance and asking about your out-of-network mental health benefits..

If you have questions or need support submitting a superbill, I’m happy to help guide you through the process.

Sliding Scale

If my fee is a barrier, I may offer a sliding scale under certain circumstances. Please inquire about the availability of my sliding scale slots when you first contact me.

Cancellation Policy

If you cannot attend a session, please cancel at least 48 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.

Any Other Questions?

Please get in touch with me for any additional questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you!
