Fees and Insurance
I offer a free, 15-minute phone consultation.
If we decide to work together, my standard fees are as follows:
- $220 for an initial 60-minute intake/evaluation session
- $200 for a 60-minute session
Self-Pay discount:
For clients paying out-of-pocket and requiring no billing paperwork, I offer the following discounts:
- $170 for a 60-minute session (initial session and on-going sessions)
I am an in-network provider with the following insurance companies:
- PacificSource
I bill other insurance companies as an "out-of-network" provider. In this case, you pay me the standard fee upfront, I provide you with a superill, and you submit the claim to your insurance company and get reimbursed a percentage of the fee from your insurance company after you have met your deductible.
If you intend to use your insurance policy to cover some or all of the fee, you may want to contact your insurance company to find out what your mental health coverage is. You will want to find out the following:
- How much is your deductible?
- How many sessions are covered?
- Is prior authorization needed for you to begin treatment?
- How much is your co-pay or co-insurance per session? (60-minute sessions are billed using the CPT code 90837)
Your insurance company may ask you some questions about me. Here are some useful pieces of information for you to know:
- I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
- Our individual sessions will be coded as 90837 (60-minute, outpatient mental health session)
- Therapy group sessions are coded as 90853
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care (including psychotherapy) 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.
If you are paying for psychotherapy out of pocket and are not submitting a claim for reimbursement, I will provide you with a Good Faith Estimate before our scheduled session.
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.
