Self Pay

Payment Options

If you choose self pay, I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company. Payment is required at the end of each session. All major credit cards, as well as HSA cards.

Benefits of self-pay

• Choice: You get to choose who you seen rather than who is in network with your insurance company.

• Privacy: When you use your insurance, a therapist has to attach a diagnosis in order for your insurance to pay. The diagnosis is then part of your medical record. This can make people feel very uncomfortable. Paying out of packet means that I do not have to have a diagnosis or share information with anyone.

• Flexibility: Not only do you get to choose who you see, but also how often and how long. Insurance is great to have but can be limiting at times.

• No surprises: You know from the start what you will be responsible for paying.

50 minute Individual Therapy Session: $130

A 50 minute individual therapy session gives you the opportunity to confidentially talk through problems or situations. What we talk about is up to you!

90 minute Individual Therapy Session: $200

EMDR is often more effective with a longer session. If you choose, we can do a 90 minute session.

Diagnostic Assessment: $175

This is a clinical evaluation to gather information to determine appropriate treatment based on the initial problem, current mental status and the diagnostic impression. I use the biopsychosocial model which is an interdisciplinary model that looks at the interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors. This assessment includes a diagnosis.

Good Faith Estimate Information

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

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 patients 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
