Session Rates

• Like many specialty providers, I am an out-of-network provider, which means I’m not directly in-network with major insurance. Clients can use of out-of-network benefits, which many don’t know they have! Many people with PPO insurance plans have out-of-network benefits and can get reimbursed by their insurance anywhere from 50-80% of the session rate once their out-of-network deductible is met. Being an out-of-network provider allows me to take a less pathologizing approach (whereas insurance companies require focus on diagnosis & operate in a medical model). It also allows me to take on an appropriately sized caseload so that I can provide you with the best quality of care as a present and energized clinician.

• I support in using Mentaya to get clients reimbursed, for those who want to use the service. Mentaya directly deals with your insurance company to submit the claims and handle issues. I also can provide Superbills for you to directly submit to your insurance for reimbursement if you prefer. Use the Insurance Benefits Check Tool from Mentaya to see an estimate of what out-of-network benefits you have! Look at the FAQ section here for more information on what to ask your insurance.
