Limitations of Insurance...Insurance certainly makes sense to use and in some cases can save you money, but most people do not realize what they are committing to and giving up to use their insurance, as well as it's risks and limitations.
When you work with me, and self-pay, I will be the only person to have access to your records and private information. You and I will decide your length of care, frequency of sessions, and other aspects of our work together rather than an insurance company dictating these things.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                You should consider your risk in the following areas when deciding whether to use your insurance or not:                                                                                                                   
You Are Risking Your Privacy & Your Confidentiality
  • Your privacy and confidentiality are often compromised when using your insurance.
  • Insurance companies often require information regarding your diagnosis which becomes a part of your permanent record.
  • Insurance companies often require a review of your session notes which may contain very personal information about you.

You Are Risking A Loss of Your Choice & Freedom
  • Your insurance company limits your freedom to choose from highly-qualified professionals with whom you feel comfortable.
  • You may not be allowed to see doctoral-level psychologists.
  • Your insurance company may limit the number of sessions you can use without ever meeting or speaking with you.
  • You may not be allowed to use the types of therapy you may need or want for long-term improvements.
  • You may be required by your insurance company to take medication in order to use your benefits.
  • Your insurance may not cover your diagnosis and therefore you may not receive treatment.

You May Receive Decreased Quality of Care
  • Therapists who accept insurance may have less time to provide you with quality care as they typically have additional paperwork to complete for insurance companies and they usually have to spend a lot of their time dealing with insurance companies to get reimbursed.
  • Since therapists who accept insurance may not get reimbursed right away or get their full reimbursement from the insurance company, they may need to schedule more sessions to meet their financial goals. This may lead to the therapist being overworked and potentially a lower quality of care.

Self-Pay gives you more privacy, more confidentiality, no conflict of quality of care, and more freedom of choice.

Payment
Cash, check and all major credit cards accepted for payment.

Cancellation Policy
If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified me at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay a missed session charge of $50.00.
