Let's get some clarity

 

$170 for 55 minute session, for both psychotherapy and clinical consultation.

For psychotherapy, I'm an in-network provider for the following insurance companies:

Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO

I'm an out-of-network provider for all other insurance carriers.

 

If you have insurance for which I am in-network and have met your deductible, I will charge your copay only at each session, and then submit claims to your insurance carrier directly.

If you have insurance for which I am out-of-network, you will pay the session cost upfront, and I will give you a receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement of out-of-network benefits.

 

It's a good idea to check with your insurance company before our first session about your coverage, whether I am in-network or out-of-network so that  you don't have any surprises (e.g. you have a large deductible that you didn't know about, you have an HMO and don't have out-of-network  benefits etc). 

If you need assistance sorting out insurance stuff, let me know and I am happy to help.  The world of insurance is confusing!
