What If my insurance is not contracted with you?
If your insurance offers Out of Network (OON) benefits , I can provide you a monthly invoice, called a Superbill, to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. My out-of-pocket cost is $160 per 50 minute session. If you’d like to work with me and use your out-of-network insurance benefits, here’s a simple guide to get started:
Check your benefits:
Call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
• Do I have out-of-network mental health coverage?
• What is my deductible and how much has been met?
• What percentage of sessions is reimbursed (or what is the allowable amount per session)?
• Is there a limit to the number of sessions covered per year?Pay for sessions directly:
You’ll pay my full fee at the time of each session. I accept credit, debit, or HSA/FSA cards.Get a superbill:
At the end of the month (or upon request), I’ll provide you with a superbill — a detailed receipt with all the necessary information for insurance reimbursement.Submit to your insurance:
You’ll send the superbill to your insurance company (usually via their online portal, app, or by mail). They’ll process it and, if eligible, send reimbursement directly to you.
A few tips:
Keep copies of everything for your records.
Reimbursement times vary by insurance, so it can take a few weeks.
If you need help understanding this process, please contact your insurance company to get more clarification on your questions.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept debit or credit (Visa, Mastercard, Discover Card, American Express, FSA, or HSA) as forms of payment.
Do you provide in-person sessions?
Currently, I only offer Telehealth services. I can offer Telehealth as long as you are in the state of Arizona. If you are planning to travel and still want to have a session, please let me know ahead of time so I can check Telehealth regulations with the designated board of the state you are traveling to.
How long can I expect to come to therapy?
There is not an exact estimate of how long someone would need therapy. Since everyone’s needs and progress are different, it is hard to give an estimate of how many sessions one would need. However, we will be creating a treatment plan that will include your goals for therapy. We will review it regularly to keep track of your progress and when you are accomplishing your goals for therapy.
Good Faith Estimate Notice
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.
