Cost

Cost for an initial consultation is $200, an individual session is $150 and a couples session is $175.  Sessions are 50-55 minutes.  

Currently I am an in network provider for Aetna, United Healthcare (which includes Oxford and Connecticare), Tricare and Husky.  This means that I am able to submit insurance claims for your sessions and accept payment directly from your insurance company.  You are responsible for all deductibles and copays.  You will be asked to submit your credit, debit or HSA card information so that all payments are made on the day of service.

 I am an out-of-network provider for all other insurance.  This means that I can not accept direct reimbursement through your insurance plan and you will be responsible for your bill.  However, some insurance carriers do allow for YOU to be directly reimbursed for some portion of mental health services.  I recommend that prior to scheduling your consultation, you contact your health insurance carrier with the following questions:

• Does your health insurance include mental health benefits?
• If so, does your health insurance cover mental health services provided by an out-of-network provider?
• How much coverage will you receive per therapy session?
• How many therapy sessions will be covered per year?
• What is your deductible?
• Does your health insurance require a referral or pre-approval from your primary care physician before you can receive mental health services?

When you choose out-of-network benefits, I am happy to provide you with a monthly invoice that you submit for reimbursement.
