Fees & Services
Fees, payment, and cancellation policy
I charge $225 for the first full session and for each subsequent 50-57-minute session, and payment is required at the time of service. Once an appointment hour is scheduled, you will be expected to pay for it unless you provide 48 hours (2 days) advance notice of cancellation, or unless we both agree that you were unable to provide 48 hours advance notice due to an unanticipated circumstance that could reasonably be called an emergency. Whenever possible, I will try to find another time within the same week to reschedule the appointment.
Initial consultation
I offer a free 15-minute consultation by phone or video call to briefly discuss what you are looking for and to make sure that I am a good fit for your preferences and goals. If it seems like we are a match, we’ll schedule our first full session, and I’ll send you an intake packet with full information about my practice and questionnaires for you to complete and return prior to our first session.
Insurance
I am an out of network provider. I can generate weekly or monthly statements that you can submit for reimbursement. Many health insurance plans will reimburse for treatment provided by a licensed psychologist. However, plans vary widely, and you are responsible for determining what insurance benefits you receive for out of network telepsychology and obtaining reimbursement. You are responsible for full payment of my fees at the time of service.
Good Faith Estimate (GFE)
You have the right to receive a GFE 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 GFE for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
-
Make sure your health care provider gives you a GFE in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a GFE before you schedule an item or service.
-
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill.
-
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your GFE.
