Have questions? I hope to have answers.
Do you take insurance?
Like many private practices, b therapy is out-of-network. At the end of each month, I can provide you with a superbill that can be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
Out-of-network benefits may receive anywhere between 60-80% of the cost of sessions after your deductible is met. I recommend you check with your insurance provider to confirm the details of your coverage.
What do I ask my insurance provider to know if I have out-of-network benefits?
Do I have out-of-network benefits?
Do my out-of-network benefits cover mental health services?
What dollar amount or percentage of each psychotherapy session is reimbursed or covered? For ongoing weekly appointments refer to CPT Code: 90834
Is there a limit to how many psychotherapy sessions per calendar year are covered in my plan?
How much will therapy cost?
My fees are based on the New York Metro Area industry standard and I have a limited number of sliding scale slots available for clients who are struggling to find affordable therapy. It is important to me that the cost of therapy not elicit additional stressors. Give me a call and we can discuss treatment in your budget. If my fees continue to be too much, I can provide you with referrals.
How long are sessions and how frequently do they occur?
Sessions typically occur for 50-minutes weekly. However, if we find that another cadence is better for you, we will work together to come up with a plan that is better suited.
How long will I be in therapy for?
Each individual is different. For some people, therapy is part of a self-care routine and think of therapy much like a work out routine for the mind. For others, it is utilized episodically, with a focused need or goal and may be more short-term. We will work together to ensure you are making the most out of your time in therapy.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
It is important for you to feel connected to the therapist you’re working with. Not everyone is a good match! We can start with a free phone consultation and I can answer any questions you may have. Then, if we decide we might work well together, I will check-in with you as we progress to ensure that I am supporting you and providing you with the help you were hoping for. If time has passed and you’re just not feeling it, let’s talk about it and come to a termination, no hard feelings!
Patient Rights Under the No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Healthcare providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate
