Insurance:
I do provide therapy services for Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna members. If you have another insurance, I can give you a receipt which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
It's important for you to know that not all issues/conditions/problems which are treated in psychotherapy are reimbursed by insurance companies.
It is your responsibility to verify the specifics of your coverage.
Please be aware that submitting a mental health invoice for reimbursement carries a certain amount of risk to confidentiality, privacy, or to future capacity to obtain health or life insurance or even employment.
I am happy to answer any questions you have about how to maintain your privacy while utilizing your out-of-network benefits.
As an out-of-network provider, we can decide how much information you want shared with your insurance company.
No Surprise Act: You have a right to receive a good faith estimate of the cost of services. 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 bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
