For those using insurance, my rate is according to my contract with your insurance. Please call for details. For those using private pay, my fee is $210 for a 50 minute session and $250 for the initial consultation (because it is longer). I accept credit/debit and HSA (Health Savings Account) cards, cash and checks.
I am in network with Aetna Health Insurance and with all BlueCross products including State Health Plan and with all out-of-state Blue Cross products. The only Blue Cross panel I am not in is BlueLocal. Before your first appointment, I will send you an Insurance Questions Form for you to use to gather needed information about your plan’s terms for mental health.
If I am still unsure at the time of your first session as the terms of your insurance plan, I will collect the estimated amount I believe is your Patient Responsibility part based on the information you were quoted. However, the final determination as to what is your Patient Responsibility part is made when the claim is adjusted. You will want to track your insurance payments to make sure your bill is being paid correctly. I will correct any discrepancies as soon as you or I learn of them. Charges incurred in my office are ultimately your responsibility.
If you are going Out of Network, and want to file a claim to recover what you can, I will provide a superbill so you can file your claim on your own. You will want to call your insurance and inquire about “Out of Network Behavioral Health Benefits.”

That’s enough on that. If you’re ready to get going, call me at 704-776-6438.
