Fees & Insurance

Understanding the cost of therapy should feel straightforward.

I believe you should have clear information about fees and insurance before deciding whether therapy with me is a good fit. Below you’ll find information about session fees, insurance, and options for using out-of-network benefits.

Session Fees

Insurance

UnitedHealthCare

I am an in-network provider with UnitedHealthcare for clients in California. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan, so I encourage you to confirm your behavioral health benefits directly with UnitedHealthcare before beginning therapy.

Other Insurance Plans

For other insurance plans, I am considered an out-of-network provider. I do not bill these plans directly, but I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Out-of-network benefits vary by plan, so I recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your coverage, deductible, reimbursement rate, and any requirements for submitting claims.

Please note: Insurance reimbursement typically requires a mental health diagnosis, which is included on the superbill and shared with your insurance company when you submit it.

Using Out-of-Network Benefits

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be able to receive partial reimbursement for therapy.

Before beginning therapy, you may want to ask your insurance company:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health services?
• Do I have an out-of-network deductible, and how much of it has been met?
• What percentage or amount will I be reimbursed after meeting my deductible?
• Is there a limit on the number of sessions covered?
• How do I submit a superbill for reimbursement?

Payment is due at the time of service, and reimbursement is determined and paid directly by your insurance company.

Good Faith Estimates

If you are not using insurance or are choosing not to use insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your care under the federal No Surprises Act.

You may request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling services or at any time during your care. Additional information about your rights is available through the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
