Billing

Included in my services to you, I complete all insurance paperwork on your behalf. I am an in-network provider for some insurance policies, and will be able to collect only the copay once we have confirmed the details of your insurance coverage. To find out if I am in-network for your policy, please speak with myself or our receptionist.

Remember, most plans (but not all) do provide benefits when working with an out-of-network provider. In this case you may simply have to meet a different deductible, or receive a 50% benefit instead of 70%, for example. Click on the article below on ending insurance “surprises” for more info. Moreover, with federal mental health parity legislation taking effect January 1, 2010, many policies that previously excluded out-of-network mental health coverage will now be mandated to cover these services.

For out-of-network coverage, or when out-of-state policies do not easily provide plan details to providers, the fees below are paid in full at the time of our meeting. In these cases, I will still work with you to ensure that you receive the maximum insurance benefit to which you are entitled.

Credit card, debit card and cash payments are accepted, as are personal checks up to $150. Please speak with me personally if alternative financial arrangements would allow you to seek services with me. Because I am committed to you at the appointed time, I require 24 hours notice for cancellations.

Counseling or testing services always represent an investment of your valuable time, energy and money. These articles may help you reduce your costs, avoid any surprises with your insurance coverage, and consider whether an out-of-network provider with the right expertise areas may still be the most efficient or wise investment.
