I am not contracted with any insurance plans. If you have mental health insurance benefits you may be eligible to submit a claim for reimbursement of out-of-network services. Payment in full is due at the time of service and upon your request I will provide you with a statement, referred to as a superbill, for you to submit for reimbursement to your insurance provider. You MUST contact your insurance company to ask questions about out of network coverage for your specific insurance plan.
Please note:
I do not work with insurance companies and there will be a charge for any contact with your insurance company.
Submitting a Superbill does not guarantee reimbursement. You must check with your insurance company as to what your out-of-network benefits are.

A Superbill is an itemized list of all services provided to a client. It may also contain information about the patient visit, including practice information, CPT codes, ICD-10 codes, referring doctors, and more. A Superbill is used by healthcare providers as a primary source of data for creating claims, but please note that submitting a Superbill to your insurance company does not guarantee reimbursement.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining your medical and mental health care costs.
Under the law, healthcare 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.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
