Fees and Insurance
Fees will be discussed during our initial phone consultation.
I can offer sliding scale treatment on a limited basis to those in need.
Information about Insurance
I currently accept Cigna and Evernorth as an in-network provider.
In-Network
To learn more about your coverage, locate the number for Member Services on your card, and then when you call, ask:
Out-of-Network
If you believe you have out-of-network benefits, here are some helpful questions to ask when you call:
*For the ease of my patients, I can submit out-of-network claims electronically and have reimbursement sent directly to you. If you would like me to this, please ask for your Electronic Payer ID when you call the company to learn more about your benefits, as I will need this to submit your claims.
Payment
Cash, checks, credit cards, and HSA/FSA are accepted forms of payment. I use a HIPAA-compliant mobile app called Ivy Pay for processing credit card payments.
Cancellation Policy
If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified me at least 48 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE NOTICE
As of January 1st, 2022:
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises, dfs.ny.gov, or call (800) 985-3059.

In-Network
To learn more about your coverage, locate the number for Member Services on your card, and then when you call, ask:
- Do I have mental health coverage?
- What is my deductible and has it been met? (Note--sometimes your deductible will be listed somewhere on your card)
- Will I pay a copay, or co-insurance, and if so, how much should I expect to pay per session?
- How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
- Do I need pre-approval?
Out-of-Network
If you believe you have out-of-network benefits, here are some helpful questions to ask when you call:
- What percentage am I reimbursed for routine behavioral health care out-of-network?
- What is my out-of-network deductible? (Note--sometimes this information will be listed somewhere on your card)
- How much of this deductible have I already met?
- Is there an “allowable amount” for behavioral healthcare, and what is that amount?
