Financial Policy
We’re pleased you are interested in our practice, because the issues we address in our practice rarely improve themselves.
In view of my specialized training and experience, I do not participate with any insurance plans. I also believe that the healthcare professional and the patient should partner in the planning of decisions and treatment goals, NOT INSURANCE COMPANIES.
I am ultimately committed to providing the best quality treatment without compromising our level of care. Therefore, I am NOT IN NETWORK WITH ANY INSURANCE COMPANIES. However, most insurance plans except for HMO’s ,Medicare and Medicaid have “out-of-network” benefits which will reimburse you for psychotherapy sessions.
Please contact your insurance company if you have questions regarding your “out-of-network” benefits.
Patients provide a credit card to keep on file at the time of their appointment. The preferred mode of payment is through Zelle direct transfer. My Administrative Assistant, Diane Laughlin, will provide guidance to aid in this process. If patients prefer to pay by credit card, a 3% fee will be added.
As a courtesy, to ease the financial cost of treatments, our office submits claims directly to the patients’ insurance company once my fee is paid. This is always completed within 24-72 hours of your session. I use an electronic billing service and have years of experience helping patients obtain their maximum benefits from their insurance company.
The insurance payments you receive are yours to keep. I will be happy to discuss this again at your initial visit to my office.
