Free Phone Consultation
A complementary 15-minute phone consultation is available for all prospective clients. Please call: 484-278-1615 or email: [email protected] to arrange a phone consultation time.
Rates
My fee is $225 for the initial therapy session and $200 for each additional individual session. Fees for couples and family sessions are $225. Sessions are 50 minutes long. Payment is due at time of service, in the form of cash, credit card or checks . Payment may also be made by Venmo.
Cancellation Policy
Please note that I have a strict cancellation policy. I ask that you contact me within 24 hours of the appointment time if you are not able to make it for your session. Sessions that are not canceled or rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance will be billed in full to the client. The reason for this is that I hold the session for you and if you do not show up, it takes the time from someone else who is need of a therapy session.
Out of Network Insurance Coverage
Although I do not take insurance directly, I am happy to provide you with a detailed invoice that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Out-of-network coverage reimbursement typically ranges from 50-70%. For example, if your insurance company pays 50% of my fee, you pay 100% up front; the insurance company will reimburse you for half of the fee. Coverage varies by carrier, so please check with your insurance company. I am also happy to assist you in navigating the insurance process. Additionally, if you have a Flexible Savings Account (FSA), Health Savings Account (HAS), or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), I can also provide you with an invoice. You can often get a substantial reimbursement from this means as well.
Benefits of Seeing an Out-of-Network Provider
By using an out-of-network provider, your confidentiality is protected. Insurance companies often require personal information from in-network providers. Confidentiality cannot always be ensured. By working out-of-network, your privacy is ensured. Additionally, insurance companies can dictate the treatment that is offered, and limit the number of visits. By taking the insurance company out of the equation, we can work collaboratively to set goals for your treatment.
Good Faith Estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
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 in-network insurance coverage an estimate of the bill for health services.
• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees, but also includes psychotherapy/marriage/family therapy.
• A Good Faith Estimate should be available in writing at least 1 business day before your initial session whenever possible. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before/at the time when 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.
