Insurance Information

I am in network with with the following insurance providers: Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna PPO. Some insurance plans may fully or partially cover telehealth services. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your mental health benefits.

For out-of-network clients, I can provide super-bills for reimbursements. Please contact your insurance provider for answers to these questions to determine your benefits.

  • Does my insurance include mental health services?

  • Does my plan limit to how many sessions I may have in one calendar year?

  • Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it? Have I met it?

  • Do I need written doctor approval to cover mental health services?

Telehealth Billing and Reimbursement

My telehealth sessions comply with HIPAA regulations to protect your privacy. If you’re using insurance, I’ll handle the billing directly for in-network providers. For out-of-network claims, I’ll assist by providing necessary documentation (e.g., superbills).

Payment Methods

I accept major credit/debit cards and fees can be paid via the patient portal. Payment is due at the time of service unless otherwise agreed upon.

Cancellation and No-Show Policy

A 24-hour notice is required. Late Cancellation/No-Shows: A fee based on contracted insurance rate will be charged for no-shows and appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. The fee will be waived if able to reschedule within the same week. For self-pay clients, the late cancellation and no-show fee is $100.

Exceptions: I understand emergencies happen— we can discuss what constitutes an emergency.
