Do you take insurance?  Yes! I currently accept the following insurances:

My insurance isn't on your list, can I still work with you?  Of course! While I may not (yet) accept payment directly from your insurance carrier, I am happy to provide you with documentation to help you obtain  "out of network" reimbursement.  Or, we can skip insurance all together and you can pay out of pocket.  Give me a call and we can discuss. It's also a good idea to check your insurance's list of approved providers, sometimes I'm approved and don't even know it yet!

​Good questions to ask your insurance company include:
  • am I entitled to out of network benefits with a LCSW mental health provider?
  • what is my deductible and has it been met?
  • what is the reimbursement rate and do I have a copay/coinsurance?
  • how do I file a claim?​

Can we meet in person?   I am currently offering a mix of both in-person and telehealth sessions.  During our initial phone call we can assess what format is best.
​
What happens if I can't attend?  I ask that you provide as much notice as possible if you need to cancel a session.  However, if less than 24 hour notice is provided you will be charged a missed appointment fee.  With enough notice, I am often able to arrange to see you at a different time or on a different day.  

You can find my HIPAA privacy paperwork here and information about the Good Faith Estimate policy here.    All other paperwork is completed online through a hipaa complaint web portal.  It's easy and fast.
