INSURANCE

The only insurance provider I work with is Blue Cross/Blue Shield (BCBS) for individuals only. Couples therapy is not covered by insurance. There are limitations of what insurance policies cover with regards to couple’s therapy. For a detailed explanation, see the “Limitations of Insurance and Couples Therapy”.

The payment amount is a fixed price set by the insurance company. Your co-pay, as outlined in your insurance plan, is due at the end of the session. The deductible, if applicable, is the responsibility of the client. No-show and late cancellation fees are NOT covered by insurance.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. I provide this to all my clients not reimbursed by an insurance provider.
