Common Questions
What do you charge?
My fees are at current local market rate, but they differ depending on the service needed. Please call to discuss your concerns, so I can make sure you’re quoted the accurate fees for the services that best suit your needs.
Do you accept insurance?
No, I am not considered an in-network provider with insurance companies at this time. If your insurance plan provides out-of-network benefits, then my services might be reimbursable (after you’ve met your deductible), up to your plan’s stated percentage. You would first pay me directly and then seek reimbursement from your insurance plan.
Upon your request, I would be happy to provide you with an itemized statement or “super-bill” so that you may submit that to your insurance provider for reimbursement of my services.
You will need to contact your insurance provider directly and inquire about your “out-of-network benefits.”
Here are some suggested questions to ask your insurance provider:
Do I have out of network coverage to receive services from a licensed clinical psychologist providing telehealth or in-office visits?
What is my coverage/how much do you cover for those services?
Do I have a deductible or out-of-pocket amount that I have to pay before those benefits begin?
Where and how would I submit my monthly “super-bill” (a statement of your payments to me) for reimbursement?
What is your cancellation policy?
I reserve that time slot for you and cannot typically see another client with short notice. As such, I ask that all therapy appointments be cancelled or rescheduled with at least one (1) full business day (not including weekends or holidays) from the originally scheduled appointment. If cancelled later than that, you will be charged the full fee for the session.
What is a good faith estimate for therapy and the No Surprises Act?
THE NO SURPRISES ACT
The Public Health Service Act (commonly called the No Surprises Act/NSA) was enacted to protect the public against unexpected charges from their healthcare providers. The law requires healthcare providers to provide an estimate of expected charges—a Good Faith Estimate (GFE)—to any client who does not have insurance or is not planning to be reimbursed through their insurance benefits. As a client of Whole Self Collective, you are entitled to this Good Faith Estimate. You always have the right to request this estimate from us at any time.
