Practice Details

Fees

Damonmill Square

My fee is $300 per session. I ask that payment be made at the time of service. I use Ivy Pay, a secure, encrypted, HIPAA-compliant payment system used by many therapists.  Payment may also be made on the doxy.me platform, or for in-person sessions by cash or check.  We can make other arrangements for payments when appropriate.

Insurance

I am not a member of any insurance panel in my private practice (even though I may be listed on websites as a covered provider due to my affiliation with a hospital).

Psychotherapy is generally a reimbursable expense under most insurance plans. When you make payment, I will provide a receipt, which includes all of the information you typically need to submit the charge for reimbursement from your insurance company for a treatment delivered by an out-of-network provider.

Because reimbursement for psychotherapy varies widely across insurance plans, prior to making an appointment, it is advisable to ask your insurance provider the following questions:

• 

  My Office in Concord

  Does my insurance plan include behavioral health benefits?

• What is my annual deductible?
• What is the start date?
• What percentage of the fee is reimbursed if I see an “out-of-network” provider?  Is there a maximum?
• How many sessions does my insurance plan cover per calendar year and how is this determination made?
• How do I submit my receipts for reimbursement?
• Are payments made directly to me?
• What is the coverage for telehealth/virtual sessions vs. in-person sessions?

Teletherapy

Teletherapy can be preferable to some due to its convenience and accessibility. I offer Teletherapy sessions using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform (doxy.me) to those located in the state of Massachusetts only, when it is determined to be appropriate. Please contact me with any questions about virtual sessions.
