Insurance and Fees
Insurance
I am in-network with Anthem/BCBS, Harvard Pilgrim, Cigna, Aetna (excluding Aetna MaineHealth), and Medicare. I will generally confirm your copay or deductible prior to the first session, however cannot guarantee that information. You are encouraged to call yourself as well. You are responsible at the time of session for any deductible or co-pay as well as any services your insurance does not cover. You are responsible for whatever amount is determined after the claim is processed. A diagnosis is required in order to bill insurance.
Rates
Self-pay fees range from $150 to $170 per session. Some insurance companies will partially reimburse you for seeing an out of network provider. I am happy to provide a superbill, at your request, if you would like to pursue your out-of-network benefits.
Payment
A credit card is kept on file and will be charged automatically the day of the session for any payment for which you are responsible. If you would like to pay another way the day of the session, just let me know.
Cancellation Policy
Your appointment time is reserved for you and only you. As such, no-shows or late of cancellations of less than 24 hours will be charged the full session fee (or your full insurance contracted rate), unless otherwise agreed upon by you and me. A telehealth appointment may be offered as an alternative to cancellation when possible.
Good Faith Estimate
Public Notice for the No Surprises Act and Good Faith Estimate mandate are below:
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
