Investment, Insurance, & Your Autonomy

Premium, deeply aligned clinical care shouldn't be dictated by an insurance company’s bottom line. Here is how we protect your clinical privacy while maximizing your out-of-network benefits.

Why Out-of-Network?

To provide you with truly unmasked, expansive, and somatic care, I operate as an Out-of-Network (OON) provider.

When insurance companies manage your care, they require a rigid, permanent mental health diagnosis on your medical record, and they frequently dictate how many sessions you are allowed to have. By stepping outside of their network, we protect your clinical privacy, ensure your treatment length is decided by us, and allow for deeply tailored, creative, and neurodiversity-affirming therapeutic methods that standard insurance metrics simply aren't built to measure.

Understanding Superbills & Reimbursement

If you have out-of-network mental health benefits built into your health insurance plan, you can frequently recover a significant portion (often 50% to 80%) of your session fees.

How the Process Works:

  1. Pay Upfront: You pay the standard session fee at the time of our appointment.
  2. Seamless Claims Filing: To make reimbursement as frictionless as possible, my dedicated billing specialist can submit out-of-network claims directly to your insurance provider on your behalf. Alternatively, I can provide a monthly Superbill receipt for you to submit on your own portal if you prefer.
  3. Receive Reimbursement: Your insurance company processes the claim and mails a reimbursement check directly to your door based on your out-of-network benefits.r.

Questions to Ask Your Insurance Provider

Before our first session, I highly recommend calling the member services phone number on the back of your insurance card and asking these exact questions:

  • "Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits for outpatient, telehealth-based psychotherapy?"
  • "What is my out-of-network deductible, and has it been met yet?"
  • "What is my reimbursement rate or co-insurance percentage for CPT code 90837 (60-minute individual therapy) or 90847 (couples therapy)?"
  • "How do I submit an out-of-network superbill for reimbursement?"
