FEES & INSURANCE

Out-of-Pocket Session Fees (Without Insurance)

Please read this carefully to avoid unnecessary surprises later!

Session fees are charged automatically to your on-file credit card after each appointment.  A limited number of sliding scale slots for established clients facing temporary financial hardship will be considered on a case-by-case basis. ​

Phone Consultation

15 min (new clients only)

Free

Individual therapy

​$170

​

​

Couples therapy

$190

Cancellation policy:

​

Appointments can be canceled or rescheduled through the client portal or by contacting me directly by phone, e-mail, or text.  Please remember to cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance. Clients who no-show or cancel with less than 24 hours' notice will receive one courtesy "freebie."  All subsequent missed appointments will be billed a $120 fee.  Exceptions will be considered for true emergencies only.  This is a standard policy across the private practice industry and is in no way meant to be punitive.  I understand that unforeseen circumstances arise and appreciate your cooperation with this policy.  

Insurance

I am in-network for:

 

BlueCross & BlueShield of Illinois PPO​

UnitedHealthcare/Optum PPO

Aetna PPO 

​

I also welcome out-of-pocket (OOP) and out-of-network (OON) clients.  Clients who prefer to utilize OON benefits or pay OOP are responsible for the full session fee up front.  

 

USING OUT OF NETWORK BENEFITS:

OON clients will receive a superbill, a consolidated statement that contains all the information your insurance plan needs to process your claims, which you will submit along with the claim form.

​

If you plan to utilize your insurance for OON benefits and submit your own claims, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider and ask:

​

  • If your plan covers mental health care

  • OON coverage for CPT codes 90791 and 90834

  • How many sessions are covered each year

  • Your OON deductible amount and whether it's been met 

​

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

Feel free to request a GFE before we schedule treatment if you're paying OOP.  For more information about your right to a GFE, visit https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
