I Understand That Therapy is a Financial and Time Commitment.
When you make the decision to commit to making a difference in your life, I know you are ready to be focused and get work done! This is why I make sure to keep you focused on your goals so you can make the changes needed in your life.

In-Network: The Aurora Network UMR
Out-of-Network For individuals with additional insurance policies, I do not directly bill insurance for treatment at this time. I offer private pay options for you! Some benefits of paying privately include more privacy and more control in our work together. However, I’ve found that many insurance companies will cover my services as an out-of-network provider. If you have a PPO, I can provide a “super bill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. A super bill is a detailed record of payment with special codes for the type of service provided along with my license number. I recommend calling your insurance to find out what reimbursement will look like for an out-of-network provider. If you’re hoping to find an in-network provider, www.psychologytoday.com is a great resource.
Good Faith Estimate (GFE) for Services at Mental Wellness Counseling
The No Surprises Act Legislation (2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act) became effective 1/1/2022. This Legislation requires health care providers to provide a Good Faith Estimate for Services, specifically for private pay clients who are not using insurance, have opted out of using insurance, or who have insurance that the provider does not participate with. You have the right to receive a GFE explaining how much your medical care will cost. Please note that this GFE also does not include any additional fees for paperwork for legal matters or court appearances/subpoenas.
Provider Estimate for Services
To calculate the total amount for your services multiply the expected services listed above by the number of weeks you expected to participate in services. For example, if you expect to participate in services weekly for 50 minute sessions you would multiply the cost of a 50 min session by 52 to estimate the total cost of one year of services.
*Payment is due at the time of your session
*Cancellation Policy
If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified me at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.
OTHER IMPORTANT INSURANCE QUESTIONS: Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
Do I have mental health insurance benefits? What is my deductible and has it been met? How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover? What is the coverage amount per therapy session? Is approval required from my primary care physician? If the therapist is not in the insurance network, what will the insurance cover? It is the client's responsibility to pay for what insurance does not cover at each session on the day of the appointment.
BE AWARE: If I am not in your insurance network, that does NOT mean that insurance won't pay for the sessions. It usually means that you will pay a higher deductible and copay. Check with your insurance to see what the "out of network" rate is.
