I currently file insurance claims for clients with Blue Cross Blue Shield, including the State Health Plan. If you have another plan, you may be able to file for out-of-network benefits, but you need to check with your insurance carrier. If you plan to use insurance, please find out what your co-pay for mental health office visits is, as well as any deductibles that may apply.
There are some advantages to not using insurance, mainly with regard to confidentiality and privacy. Although I make every effort to protect your confidentiality, your insurance carrier is entitled to certain information about your therapy.
My fee is currently $100 per 50-minute session, and $120 for the initial session. However, I do not want finances to prevent anyone from getting treatment, so ask me about my sliding scale based on income.
Fees are payable with cash or check at each session.
