Fees & billing
Payment by cash, check or credit card is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made. I have made a deliberate decision to be an out-of-network provider so that I can focus 100% on your treatment needs, outside the constraints of insurance. If you would like to use your insurance benefits, I will provide you with a specific receipt, called a superbill. You can then submit the superbill to your insurance company, who will mail the reimbursement check directly to you.
It is your responsibility to inquire with your insurance company about your specific out of network benefits for outpatient mental health services. You will need to know if you have out-of-network benefits and any deductible for out-of-network benefits you must meet. It is also helpful to discuss the specific codes that will be billed depending on the services that you are seeking with me. The most common are:
INITIAL EVALUATION
90791
INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY (45 minutes)
90834
FAMILY THERAPY (55 minutes)
90847
FAMILY w/o PATIENT PRESENT (parent guidance sessions, 45 minutes)
90846
We can discuss more together if you would like any help with the information you have received from your insurance provider.
