Insurance

While I don’t take insurance, I can provide you with billing statements in order to pursue any out-of-network options that your insurance company might have.

Some things to consider when making the personal decision to use insurance for your therapy include the following:

  • Most insurance companies cap the number of sessions covered regardless of whether the client has reached his or her goal.
  • In many cases the deductibles and co-pays when using insurance might approach or even surpass out-of-pocket fees, particularly if sessions are needed beyond the capped limit.
  • Virtually all insurance companies require the reporting of a diagnosis in order to reimburse service costs. In some cases they might even require more specific information with regard to your sessions in order to continue to pay benefits. I believe that clients have the right to keep such information confidential and not have it as part of their permanent medical record. Paying out-of-pocket for your sessions ensures your confidentiality. Please check with your specific insurance plan to determine your out-of-pocket expenses and limitations in service.
  • Couples Counseling is rarely covered by insurance.

In many cases therapy sessions are reimbursable through Health Spending Accounts offered by your employer. Please check with your benefits department.
