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. ​

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.
