PAYMENT AND INSURANCE

 

Prior to an initial intake appointment, I offer a 20-minute, complementary Zoom call to discuss your needs and to see if we feel like a good fit.
 

I accept several health insurances, including Aetna, Highmark Blue Shield, Quest Behavioral Health, and Compsych. If you have one of these insurances, you can call the number on the back of your insurance card and tell them my name to verify that I am in network with your insurance plan. You will also want to find out your insurance plan benefits by asking the following questions:

 

    -Do I need pre-authorization or a referral from my primary care physician before starting therapy?

    -Do I have a co-pay, and if so, what is it?
    -Do I have a deductible that needs to be met before my benefits kick in?
    -Is there a limit to the number of sessions I can have in a year?

If I am not in network for your insurance plan, you can ask your insurance company if you have out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits. If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company will reimburse you for part of the cost of our sessions.

I accept payment using credit cards. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my fees or insurance.
