Frequently Asked Questions about Insurance
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. I currently accept Aetna plans but due to my recent resignation from the Aetna insurance panel, I am currently not accepting new clients who want with an in-network Aetna provider.
What if I have another insurance?
No problem! If you have out of network benefits, then we can still work together. After our session, you will pay me my full rate and I will then handle the paperwork and submit it to your insurance company (provided I can submit it electronically.) The insurance will then reimburse you according to your plan's coverage. The hope is by doing so, I am giving you one less thing for you to have to figure out. More details about this can be provided during our initial consult.
I'm not sure if I have out-of-network benefits. Can you help with that?
I sure can. First, let's start with scheduling a free 20 min consultation call where we can discuss your needs. If after the consultation, we both feel we want to move forward, then I will need your insurance information. I will then look up your insurance and obtain information related to your out of network coverage. This is something you can also check on your own simply by calling the Member services phone number, which is usually located on the back of your insurance card.
Dealing with insurance can be an ordeal and the last thing you probably need on your plate is yet another thing to do. I will try my best to help make this a seamless process so that you don't have to worry about submitting paperwork and can instead focus on yourself, your child and your family.
I don't have out-of-network benefits. Do you provide a sliding scale?
Unfortunately, I do not provide a sliding scale. If you are looking for a provider that accepts your insurance then check out the following resources: your insurance website for a list of participating providers and the following directories - Psychology Today and Therapy Den. You can also check out Open Path Collective for a list of therapists that provide low cost therapy.
