Please call your insurance company to verify if I am an in network provider or use your insurance website.  The insurance companies listed here are for informationl purposes only and do not guarantee coverage.  Many times insurance companies contract out their mental health services to another insurance company so just because your insurance company is listed doesn't mean services are covered and ther reveres, just because it is not listed specifically doesn't mean it's not covered.  Iif I am contracted with the company your insurance plan contracts out to, then my services will be covered for you. The list here is for guidance only, because insurance companies are always modifying their contracts, more often than I update my website, it's always a good idea to call the number on the back of your card  or use your insurance website to verify if a provider is an in network provider.

• My BASE Rate is $160 an hour if you need that for calculations for coinsurance.  This is for information purposes only as every insurance company varies in their calculations.  Example, if you have 20% coinsurance your out of pocket pay would be $32.  

Copayments are usually a fixed amount whereas coinsurance is usually a percentage. Copayments are determined by your insurance company and are usually a fixed figure which is either printed on  your card or you can get by calling your insurance company and vary from insurance plan to insurance plan and are often in the $30 range.

Private pay clients.

• Private pay means you do not plan to bill insurance at all.  
• $110 for hourly appointments.
• $150 for the first appointment which is 2 hours long.  
• Payment must be made at the time of the appointment.  I accept cash, checks, and debit, credit cards, or health savings cards.
