Insurance & Rates
I don't bill insurance directly. Here's what that means for you, and how to check if you can still get reimbursed.
Working outside of insurance is common in private practice, and it comes with real advantages. There's no diagnosis code required for billing, no limit on session length or frequency set by a claims adjuster, and full privacy over what's discussed in session.
Industry data shows a meaningful gap between private-pay and insurance-reimbursed rates for therapy nationally, which is part of why many therapists, especially those offering specialized or intensive work, choose to stay out-of-network. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, I provide a superbill you can submit for possible partial reimbursement.
How to Check Your Benefits
Call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask: "Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health, and what is my reimbursement rate?" I'll provide the paperwork (a superbill) you need to submit a claim after each session.
This is a completely normal thing to bring up during your free consultation call.
