Insurance: I am not contracted with any insurance panels. Most health insurance provides offer an "out-of-net-work" or "non-network" provider options. I will be happy to provide an itemized receipt (also known as to a super bill) upon payment for each session, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. How much you are reimbursed is based on your “out of network” benefits. Please check with your insurance provider for additional information. Common questions to ask insurance providers are:
Do I have mental health benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
What is the fax number or address to submit receipts?
