Fees & Policies
Fee, Insurance and Privacy Policy information
Financial Investment
Please reach out to me and inquire about my current fees for individual, couples, and supervision.
Insurance
I am considered an out-of-network provider and can issue a superbill upon request. I highly encourage you to contact your insurance and see if they will reimburse for out-of-network providers as part of a PPO insurance plan. HSA cards also accepted.
Privacy Policies
All of your treatment information is confidential. The exception to this is as follows:
There is reasonable suspicion of child or elder abuse; if you disclose you are going to harm another person (duty to warn); or if I suspect you are going to harm yourself. Children may have personal health information disclosed to parents/guardians if they are under 12, or if they are between 12 and 18 and their parents/guardians are paying for their treatment. NEW: AB1775 requires that I disclose to local authorities any downloading or accessing of child pornography reported by my patients.
If you decide to use your insurance to reimburse you for our sessions, they have the right to request access to your records in order to assure appropriate treatment is being provided. The electronic software I use, including for telehealth sessions, are all HIPAA-compliant and do not use AI.
Good Faith Estimate Notice
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 (available upon request).
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency item or service.
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.
The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not require you to obtain the items or services from this provider. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
