Insurance

I am not an in-network provider for any insurance plans at this time.

However, I can provide you with a Superbill, a document that

you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

See below for more information.

"Do you take insurance?"

If you have a PPO plan, it's worth calling your insurer to see whether you are eligible for partial reimbursement. When calling your company, talk to a benefits specialist and let them know you are interested in working with an "out-of-network provider."

The following questions are a good place to start:

Does my plan cover some portion of services with licensed, out-of-network providers?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per year does my mental/behavioral health insurance cover?

Please call me if you are interested in learning more about using your PPO plan to pay for my services;

I'd be happy to explain more fully how that works.
