Insurance & Payments
I currently accept Aetna & United as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) through Headway. If you're seeking couples therapy and plan to use insurance, please note that specific requirements must be met for coverage approval. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to assess your situation and determine if you meet the criteria. If insurance isn’t an option, private pay is always available.
Separately from Headway, I work within Monarch Grove Therapy PLLC where we frequently work with private-pay clients. If you choose to private-pay, I qualify as an out-of-network provider for most major insurance carriers. Clients can use their insurance benefits for potential reimbursement, and we can provide necessary documents such as an insurance “super bill”.
60 minute sessions: $165
45 minute sessions: $135
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
Under federal law, for those who do not have insurance or elect not to use their insurance, you are entitled to a "Good Faith Estimate", which is an estimate of the total bill for medical items and services. This explains how much your therapy services will cost. Here are a few key things you should know about your Good Faith Estimate:
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You may be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur.
You may ensure that I give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 3 business days before your therapy services or item. You can also ask me for a Good Faith Estimate prior to scheduling.
If you receive a bill that is $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill with the US Department of Health and Human Service (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill.
It's recommended that you save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
