Fees and Insurance
Insurance and Self-Pay
I am an In-Network Provider with Illinois Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Blue Choice Preferred PPO. With other insurance plans, appointments are considered 'Out of Network'. For Out of Network claims, a detailed statement with all the necessary information to submit for claim reimbursement can be provided to you.
It is recommended that you check with your provider to confirm eligibility for reimbursement and coverage-specifics related to your plan’s deductible, copay, or coinsurance.
Use of insurance does not guarantee coverage. Insurance companies operate on a medical model and only pay for treatment they consider “medically necessary.” This model is based on symptoms and functioning, not on personal growth, increased self-understanding, or connection. Use of insurance also grants the insurer the right to audit your treatment records in order to review for medical necessity. Sometimes this model fits a person’s therapy needs, and at other times it does not.
For Self-Pay and/or Uninsured clients, a Good Faith Estimate, as required by the No Surprises Act, will be provided to you.
Session Fees
Individual, Couple and Family Therapy: $140 per session
Telehealth
I offer Telehealth sessions for Illinois residents using a HIPAA-compliant platform for Telehealth that is compatible with any desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone that has access to a web camera. No software downloads are required.
You must be in Illinois at the time of your telehealth session. Current laws do not allow Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists to practice across state lines.
*There may be options to do a session if you are traveling briefly, however there are a number of factors including individual state laws that need to be reviewed beforehand.
Sliding Scale Therapy
I offer limited reduced fee spots for clients who are a good fit for the practice and are otherwise prevented from seeking services due to financial constraints.
Cancellation Policy
Please note that clients are responsible for the full fee for sessions that are cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24-hours notice. Insurance does not reimburse for late cancelations or no-shows.
