When asked why don’t you accept insurance?
This is a complicated question with many reasons. The primarily one is because in order for me to show up authentically for you it requires flexibility and creativity that goes beyond the scope of what insurance will pay for and deem "necessary."
Insurance companies also require a diagnosis for coverage of services. In my work with couples and families this would require me to pick out one person to be the “identified patient” which does not always align with my belief, values or approach.
Further, I want people to be able to seek support without being diagnosed with a disorder if they desire.
And lastly, insurance does not comprehensively cover couples and family codes or diagnosis, even when a provider is in network.
Ways to use Insurance:
While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, giving you access to reimbursement for a portion of our session cost.
I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you.
With Thrizer, you may only have to pay a copay for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions.
During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your copay would be.
Insurance
My hope is to give us the flexibility we need to help you access the healing you are searching for while also helping prevent finances from being your barrier to support. Please reach out to see if there is something we can work out if you think I am a good fit for you and your family.
Unfortunately, I am unable to see anyone with Medicaid insurance coverage at this time.
Note related to the No Surprises Act, effective January 1, 2022:
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give clients 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 me, 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
