Therapy Rates.
Self-Pay Rates
Session fees depend on the type of psychotherapy service and duration of your session. The first session is the “intake session” and the sessions thereafter can vary depending on your needs. The most common psychotherapy sessions and my current self-pay rates are the following:
Initial Evaluation and intake session is $150
60-minute psychotherapy session is $125
45-minute psychotherapy session is $100
30-minute psychotherapy session is $70
We will discuss in further detail during our phone consultation. You can choose to have your session in-person or through a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. I also offer sliding scale fees through Open Path Psychotherapy Collective if you lack health insurance or are underinsured.
Cancellation Policy
If you are unable to provide adequate notice or do not show for your scheduled appointment, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.
Accepted Payments
I use Ivy Pay, a HIPAA-secure payment system, which accepts credit, debit, HSA and FSA cards. In this way, we are keeping therapy confidential and it also makes payment easy for you and me.
In Network Insurance
I am in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Optum, United Healthcare, Capital Blue Cross Pennsylvania, Quest Behavioral Health, Independence Administrators, Independence Blue Cross, AmeriHealth, Oscar Health, Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of NJ, United Healthcare, and Oxford. You may be able to get all or most of your therapy session paid for by your insurance provider.
Out of Network Billing
I am an out-of-network provider for other insurance providers which means that you would pay the session fee. I will provide you with a Superbill/receipt for your session so that you can submit a claim to your insurance provider to receive reimbursement.
I advise everyone to contact their insurance provider directly to: inquire whether or not you have out-of-network mental health benefits, whether or not you have a deductible and how much has been met so far, how much will be covered for each session, how many sessions are covered per year, and how you can receive reimbursement. If you provide me with your insurance information during our consultation, I can assist you in verifying your out-of-network benefits.
Did you know that I can help you file for your out-of-network benefits by filing the claim? Reimbursify also allows you to file a reimbursement with your insurance company when a practitioner doesn’t accept your insurance plan.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the Good Faith Estimate provision of the No Surprises Act, you are protected from receiving unexpected medical bills. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your healthcare services will cost. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. Health care providers are required to provide a Good Faith Estimate for clients who don't have insurance or are not planning to submit an insurance claim. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call HHS at (800) 985-3059.
