Insurance and Fees
Insurance
I am currently in-network with the following insurance plans:
-
Aetna
-
Meritain Health
-
UnitedHealthcare (including UMR, Optum, GEHA, and Oxford Health Plans)
-
Medical Mutual
-
OhioHealthy
-
OSU Health Plan
I do not currently accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans or participate in Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs).
I recommend confirming my in-network status with your insurance company, along with your copay and deductible information, before scheduling services. Even with insurance coverage, you may have out-of-pocket costs for counseling.
If I am out-of-network with your insurance plan, private-pay options are available. I can also provide a receipt, often referred to as a superbill, that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your insurance plan.
When contacting your insurance company, these questions may be helpful:
-
What is my copay for outpatient mental health services?
-
Does my plan cover billing code 90837 (60-minute therapy sessions)?
-
Do I have a deductible I need to meet before my counseling sessions will be covered by insurance?
-
Is there a limit on the number of therapy sessions my plan will cover per year?
-
Does my plan cover telehealth or virtual therapy visits?
Private Pay
You may choose to pay privately for your counseling sessions, which means I will not bill your insurance company for services. Some clients choose private pay because they prefer to keep their mental health services outside of their insurance records. Others may prefer private pay if they do not meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis or if their insurance plan limits the number of sessions covered each year.
If you choose to pay privately, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate outlining your expected costs for counseling services under the No Surprises Act. You may request an estimate before scheduling services. For more information about your rights under the No Surprises Act, please visit CMS.gov.
Counseling Fees:
-
Initial Intake Session (60 minutes): $200
-
Individual Therapy Session (60 minutes): $175
Forms of Payment
I accept all major debit cards, credit cards, and HSA/FSA cards for copays and private-pay sessions. Payment is due at the time of service.
