  Things to note about insurance....

I accept select insurance panels because I believe mental health care should be accessible to all and not just for the wealthy. With that being said, I do want to be transparent about utilizing insurance for your sessions.

• Diagnosis: Insurance companies require me to give you a psychiatric diagnosis which will be part of your permanent medical record. Having certain psychiatric diagnoses can have an affect on your future job, military enlistment, life insurance, divorce/custody proceedings, etc.

• Confidentiality: Your insurance carrier can request to see your therapy records in the case of an internal audit. In TX, I am required to maintain your records for 7 years, meaning they can request your records long after you have completed therapy.

• Power over treatment: Let’s be honest: Insurance does not want to pay for anything, much less for therapy several times per month. Because of this, they have an incentive to look for ways to deny claims. This can look like deciding how often sessions occur, putting a limit on how many sessions allowed per year, strict rules on “medical necessity”, demanding payment back, high deductible plans, etc.

I will be super honest here: I despise insurance! I am more than happy to help you navigate the insurance maze and advocate for you as much as I am able. However, you are ultimately responsible for knowing your benefits for your specific plan, which you can get by calling the number on the back of your insurance card.

When calling to verify your benefits, these are important questions to ask regarding outpatient mental health:

• What is my copay/coinsurance for each session?

• Am I required to meet my deductible first?

• What is my deductible and how much has been met?

• When does my plan/deductible reset each year?

• Is there a maximum number of sessions allotted per year?

• Are there any limits to certain CPT codes?

• Do I need a referral for outpatient mental health office visits?

Please note that I am not in network with all plans within these insurance panels, most notably Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans, EAP plans, or Aetna CVS Marketplace plans.

We will verify benefits to the best of our ability prior to the first session. I can provide a superbill for any insurance I am not paneled with.

Cancellation Policy

Therapy can be life changing. However, it really only works when sessions are consistent and regular. In order to simplify things for everyone, I schedule the majority of my clients on the same day and time each week so I keep your slot on my calendar and do not schedule anyone else during that time. I require at least 24 hours notice for cancellations, otherwise, it will be a $75 fee. I do try to be as flexible as possible, however, as I understand life happens.
