Fees & Payment

FAQS

  • No, I am an out-of-network provider. Private pay allows me to offer more flexibility than insurance often allows, including extended sessions and healing intensives.

  • Depending on your plan, insurance may reimburse around 50–80% of the allowed amount. Below I have an OON benefits check you can use for free.

    You can also contact your insurance provider directly. To make the call easier, below are specific questions you can ask to understand more about your benefits.

  • There are three easy steps.

    Step 1: Pay at the time of your session: Your credit card on file will be charged on the day of service.

    Step 2: Submit your superbill: A monthly superbill is uploaded to your portal (or available sooner upon request) for you to send to your insurance company. Alternatively, I may be able to submit the claim electronically after each session on your behalf.

    Step 3: Your insurance reimburses you: Your insurance issues payment to you based on your OON benefits via mail or direct deposit.

What to Ask Your Insurer

To verify your out-of-network benefits, call the customer service phone number listed on the back of your health insurance card. You can read this checklist to the representative to understand your plan:

  1. “Does my specific plan include out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health or psychotherapy?"

    • Not every plan includes out-of-network coverage, so this is the first thing to confirm.

  2. “Is CPT code 90837 covered when I see an out-of-network therapist?

    • 90837 is commonly used for a 60-minute psychotherapy session. This confirms whether your plan covers the type of session you’re receiving.

  3. "What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much of it have I already met this year?"

    • This tells you how much you may need to pay before your out-of-network benefits begin contributing.

  4. “After I meet my deductible, what percentage does my plan reimburse for CPT code 90837, and what is the allowed amount?”

    • A plan may say it covers 50% or 60%, but that percentage may be based on the insurer’s allowed amount rather than your therapist’s full fee. Asking both questions can help you estimate your actual reimbursement.
