Fees
I accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. My fee per session is $250 for individual psychotherapy. I am an in-network provider for Tufts University students on the student health insurance plan. For those students, your copayment per session is $5.
Cancellation Fee < 24 hour notice: Full Fee
I also can provide out-of- network services for many other insurances. Those with an insurance that offers out-of- network benefits may be able to receive reimbursement for sessions. I can provide regular statements, which have the necessary requirements so that you can receive reimbursement for services. However, be sure to contact your insurance provider to request more specific information about your plan’s reimbursement rate, deductible and mental health coverage.
Some questions to ask your insurance company:
Insurances plans are not all the same and can vary quite a bit in regards to what and how much they cover. I strongly recommend that you find out what your plan covers so that you are not caught by any surprise bills.
Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health coverage?
What is the allowed amount for an out-of-network psychologist for the CPT code 90834? The allowed amount is the maximum amount your insurance will make payment for covered health care services. A CPT code is insurance-speak for the kind of service offered, in this case 50 minutes of psychotherapy.
What is my copayment and/or coinsurance? A copayment is a fixed amount you pay per session to the provider, such as $20-25. Coinsurance is a percentage of the fee that you pay. For instance, the insurance company might pay 80% and you pay 20%. So, if the fee is $200, your insurance would pay $160 and you would pay $40.
Do I have an out-of-network deductible or out-of-pocket maximum? Some insurance plans have deductibles, which means you have to pay the fee in full up to a specific amount until benefits kick in. Other plans have maximums, which means that once you pay a certain amount in fees, your insurance covers the rest.
How many sessions per calendar year are covered? Some plans will cover an unlimited number of visits but others cap it at a certain number per year.
How do I submit a request for reimbursement?
