Fee and Insurance Information
Here you will find the information about private/self pay, the rates, the federal Good Faith Estimates, Out-of-Network options, and yearly cost estimates. *Please talk with me if cost is a financial burden so that we can look at your options.*
Private (Self) Pay Agency
My clients pay for services out-of-pocket as I am NOT paneled with any insurance company directly. I do offer:
​
-
Competitive rates
-
Reduced fees options
-
Some Out-of-Network options (talk with me)
-
Payment is due on the day of each session
-
Cash, check, and card payments accepted
-
Telehealth - only card payments accepted
Self-Pay Benefits
-
Anyone can get services - no diagnosis needed
-
Greater privacy and information control
-
You, not insurance, is in control
-
More focus on therapy (and you) instead of trying to chart and document
Out - of -Network Options
While I do not take or bill any insurance, some clients may have insurance that will reimburse them for out of pocket costs with some providers. This is known as out-of-network (OON) benefits.
​
-
They are an AFTER service option
-
Clients MUST still pay their full fee at session
-
Clients are provided with a receipt that they, themselves, submit to the insurance company to help recoup what they paid
-
Not all clients have these benefits
-
Not all clients will qualify
-
The agency only provides the reciept and will not engage with the insurance company any other way.
Please ask me if you are interested so we can discuss if you qualify and how it works
Good Faith Estimates (GFE's)
Good Faith Estimates (GFE's) are federally required estimates of your final bill for private pay clients based on expected services​ and provide client financial protection through cost transparency.
You may contact us at any time to receive a GFE, otherwise one will be provided when you schedule your first appointment, when you change your service frequency or types, and/or yearly.
How GFE's Protect Clients
If your final bill is higher than your most recent good faith estimates by over $400 you may contact the health provider to negotiate or you may dispute the bill by contacting www.cms.gov/nosurprises or calling 1-800-985-3059 within 120 days of the final bill.
Fee Schedule
This is for standard rates. Reduced fee spots may be available. Costs per hour are for up to an hour with no billing of partial hour. Costs are subject to change. Current clients will be given ample notice of 1 month before new rates go into effect. All new clients will have the new rate.
