FEES, HEALTH INSURANCE & TIME    (What will it cost?)



Health insurance is regretfully accepted but I belong to no managed                                                                 care panels that I know of.  Optimal  confidentiality is achieved without the intervention of a third party.   Although I am an "out-of-network provider", your PPO insurance MUST cover a portion of fees charged by a licensed clinical psychologist.

If you do decide to use your health insurance, and don't know how much it covers for outpatient  psychotherapy with me as your treatment provider, please phone your insurance company and....  


    ask what they pay for out of network providers

    ask if there is a maximum $ per visit and what that is

    ask if there is a percentage per visit and what that is

    ask if there is a maximum number of visits per year

    ask what your yearly deductible is


It is your right to know what your benefits are!  If you have HMO coverage and plan on using your  insurance to cover the cost of therapy, you will not be able to chose your provider.

Although the standard psychotherapy hour is 45 minutes long, the last time I looked, an hour was 60 minutes.
