Insurances, Fees, and Payment

Here is all the information you need to understand this financial aspect.

Insurance:

I am currently in-network with the following major insurance providers:

AETNA; CIGNA; CAREFIRST; OPTUM/UHC

For a full list of insurance and EAP program, please click here. Wondering if I accept your insurance? Let’s talk about it during a free consultation!

Please also note that the fee per session is pre-determined by the in-network benefits, and might be different from the fee listed in the clinician's profile. 

Out of Network Policy:

If your insurance provider is not listed, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement as an out-of-network provider. Please check with your insurance company regarding their out-of-network mental health benefits, coverage for telehealth sessions, and any deductibles or co-pays that may apply.

Session Fees for Self-Pay:

  • Individual Initial Session (75 minutes): $195

  • Individual Therapy (55 minutes): $150

  • Individual Therapy (45 minutes): $120

  • Couples Therapy Initial Session (90 minutes): $225

  • Couple Therapy (75 minutes): $185

Fees are based on the duration and type of service provided.

Sliding scale fees: I am proud to partner with Open Path Collective, for clients in need with access to transformative and affordable mental health care. Please inquire more information during our initial consultation. Sliding scale slots are limited.

Payment Methods:

I accept the following payment methods:

  • Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)

  • Health Savings Account (HSA) / Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards

  • WeChat Pay

Self-Pay Client Payment is due at the time of service unless prior arrangements have been made.

For clients using insurance, co-pays and any outstanding balances of sessions are invoiced and paid through Alma/Headway.

Cancellation Policy:

Please note that I require at least 12 hours' notice for any cancellations or rescheduling. Cancellations made within less than 12 hours or No-Show may incur a flat fee of $100 unless it is an emergency. This policy helps ensure that I can offer appointment times to other clients who may be waiting.

Questions and Clarifications:

If you have any questions about insurance, fees, or payment options, please don't hesitate to contact me. I’m happy to work with you to ensure that the financial aspect of therapy is as clear and manageable as possible.

Good Faith Estimate

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who 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 also ask your health care 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
