Insurance & Payments
I’m currently in network with Aetna (including the NC State Health Plan). Insurance coverage for couples therapy typically requires meeting medical necessity criteria and the presence of a diagnosable condition. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to determine whether insurance is a good fit for your needs.
Many clients also choose private pay for increased flexibility and privacy. This option allows for more autonomy in the therapeutic process, including session structure, frequency, and clinical focus, without insurance authorization requirements or the need for a formal diagnosis on record.
For private pay clients, I can provide a superbill that may be submitted for out-of-network reimbursement depending on your insurance benefits. I am an out-of-network provider with most major insurance carriers, and HSA and FSA funds are often accepted for therapy services.
50 minute individual session: $175
50 minute couple sessions: $200
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.
