INSURANCE & FEES FAQ
WHAT IS AN IN-NETWORK PROVIDER? ARE YOU IN-NETWORK WITH ANY INSURANCE PLANS?
Some therapists and health care providers partner with insurance companies and accept certain insurance plans. These therapists and providers are called "in-network providers. I am currently only in-network with Aetna at this time. However, if you do not have Aetna you can still use your insurance if you have out-of-network mental health benefits (please see below for more information).
IF I DON'T HAVE AETNA CAN I STILL USE MY INSURANCE?
Yes. If you have out-of-network mental/behavioral health insurance benefits you can still use your insurance plan benefits. If you do not have out-of-network mental/behavioral health benefits or insurance you can also still do therapy with me at my cash rate as well.
HOW DO I FIND OUT MY INSURANCE PLAN BENEFITS?
Call the phone number on the back of your insurance card for members and ask the following questions. I recommend having a pen and paper handy so you can write down the answers and share them with me so I can help you get the most out of your insurance plan benefits:
1.) Do I have in-network mental/behavioral health benefits?
2.) Do I have an in-network mental/behavioral health deductible that I need to meet?
3.) What is my in-network co-payment or co-insurance?
4.) Do I have out-of-network mental/behavioral health benefits?
5.) Do I have an out-of-network mental/behavioral health deductible that I need to meet?
6.) What is my out-of-network co-payment or co-insurance (once the deductible is met)?
IF I AM NOT USING MY INSURANCE, WHAT IS YOUR RATE FOR A SESSION?
Please contact me to discuss my fees. Different services such as family, couples and group therapy have different rates that can be discussed. I may also be able to offer sliding scale or lower cost options as well so please feel free to discuss this with me if cost is a barrier to treatment for you.
