Potential insurance reimbursement is only applicable for clinical therapy sessions and not consultation work. At this time, I am considered in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS). However, I plan to transition out of network in the near future. This decision reflects my commitment to working directly with clients rather than within the limitations set by insurance companies. I believe that the most meaningful and effective therapy happens when we can tailor the work to your individual needs—not the rigid requirements of an insurance policy.

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement of my fee. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your coverage details and reimbursement rate.

Please note that all sessions take place via Telehealth, and your insurance company should be informed of this when you inquire about coverage. It’s important to understand that when insurance is used, the insurance company—not you or I—determines the number and length of sessions they consider “medically necessary.” In addition, the information submitted to your insurance provider becomes part of your medical record and may be stored in databases such as the Medical Information Bureau, where it could be accessed by other entities (for example, life insurance companies) in the future.

I’m happy to provide a Superbill (an itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. However, please keep in mind that reimbursement is never guaranteed. Insurance companies may deny payment for a number of reasons, such as:

• The absence of a qualifying mental health diagnosis

• A diagnosis not covered by your plan

• Policies that exclude out-of-network or Telehealth services

Because of these factors, any reimbursement you receive should be considered a helpful bonus, rather than something you depend on in order to begin therapy.
