frequently asked questions
-
Yes, I take Premera & Lifewise. If you have other insurance for which you’d like to pursue out-of-network benefits, I will provide a superbill as requested. You may submit that superbill to your insurance company for any potential reimbursement. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance company to learn about out-of-network reimbursement rates and how to submit claims.
-
Payments are made via credit card, FSA card, or HSA card through the electronic health record program I use. You are required to keep a card on file.
-
Like most therapists, I require you inform me at least 48 hours before your scheduled session if you wish to cancel. If an appointment is missed or sufficient notice is not provided to cancel a session, I charge for the session.
-
A law that went into effect in 2022 called "The No Surprises Act” requires that I provide you with a “good faith estimate” for the cost of care I provide. Based on our initial consultation conversation, I will provide this information before we begin our work together.
an additional note about fees & insurance
I acknowledge therapy’s inaccessibility due to its cost for many. While taking insurance increases therapy’s accessibility for those who have a particular insurance, it also requires that I diagnose (and pathologize) individuals when they experience “normal” or reasonable feelings and reactions to life’s events and the culture and systems in which we live. And it means that you’ll have a record of having been diagnosed with some type of “illness” because insurance won’t cover sessions otherwise. Having a diagnosis may impact you outside health insurance; for example, it may impact your ability to seek other types of insurance—like life insurance or insurance for long-term care. If you wish to take insurance or submit a superbill, we’ll speak in more detail about potential implications this may have for you.
