Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Do you accept insurance?

A. As managed care does not allow for the full practice of psychology and psychiatry with independence and confidentiality, I do not participate in any insurance panels. However, I am sometimes able to see a patient at a reduced fee, or help find additional options.

For all insurance plans, I am considered an “out-of-network” provider. If a patient has out-of-network benefits, I can provide a statement of services that can be submitted to an insurance company. Often, insurance companies cover a significant portion of the cost.

Q. How do I know if my insurance company has an out-of-network benefit?

A. To understand your benefits, I recommend contacting your insurance company. Below are some questions to ask the insurance provider:

• Do I have out-of-network behavioral health benefits?
• What is my deductible?
• What percentage of the doctor’s fees will the insurance company reimburse for outpatient psychotherapy?
• Is there a session limit for behavioral health services?
• What is the allowed amount for CPT 90834?

Q.What are your rates?

A. My fee for consultation and psychotherapy is available upon request.  I am happy to provide an invoice for out-of-network reimbursement. I maintain a limited number of sliding-scale slots available on a need-basis.

Q. What is your cancellation policy?

A. I require a week’s notice as a patient’s scheduled appointment time is reserved for them. If adequate notice is not given, the patient is responsible for the full session cost.
