  • are you in-network with any insurance providers?

    i am not in-network with any insurance providers. however, in my commitment to providing more accessible care, I offer out-of-network claim submissions at no cost so you don’t fall behind on getting your payments reimbursed.

    please check with your insurance provider if you have out-of-network coverage prior to scheduling services with me. be sure to ask for:

    • your out-of-network deductible amount

    • your out-of-network copay &/or coinsurance fee

    • the maximum amount approved for codes 90791, 90837, & 90834

    • the number of sessions allowed per year (if applicable)

    • any pre-approval requirements for your reimbursement

  • do you have a cancellation policy?

    one of the ways i promote accountability in my practice is by enforcing a late cancel/no show policy. all sessions must be cancelled 48 hours ahead of the session time, with the exception of emergencies and serious illness.*

    if you cancel within the 48 hour window, or you simply do not attend the session, you will be charged the full fee of our agreed upon rate.

    *these exceptions do not apply to no show sessions. i must receive some prior notice of your inability to attend session in order to make an exception for emergencies. all no show appointments will be charged the rate agreed upon, unless otherwise discussed.
