I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don't accept insurances directly, your insurance may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will support the cost of my services. I have partnered with Thrizer, a payment application that handles this process automatically for you so you can pay only what you truly owe for our sessions.
Paying for therapy is part of making a commitment to it. Some clients prefer to pay out of pocket because they would prefer to avoid using insurance to cover mental health care, to maintain their privacy, or because they are not able to find someone on their provider panel that feels like a “good fit.”
Although insurance plans will sometimes cover a large portion of your initial sessions, there is a price tag that comes with it. For insurance to pay, therapy needs to be considered “medically necessary,” meaning you will need to be given a diagnosis of a medical condition. This can make it very difficult to obtain life or long-term disability insurances. Using insurance invites a third party into your therapy, often in the form of a case manager who wants to know particular details about you and your treatment. They may and often do call your therapist for updates, and many patients find this intrusive and upsetting. Last, even after you have given up privacy and obtained a medical diagnosis, the insurance company may decide they will not pay for your treatment any more, whether you are finished or not.
I will be happy to provide you the information you need to make an informed decision about your care.
