Insurance and Fees

Using Insurance

I am in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tufts Health Plan (commercial plans only), and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. If you do not have a plan with one of these insurers, I am considered out-of-network for you.

In-Network

As an in-network provider for you, your portion of the fee for each therapy session will either be a copay, payment towards your deductible, or co–insurance.

You can verify these amounts by calling the phone number on your insurance card and asking about your mental health benefits.

Out-of-Network

As an out-of-network provider for you, you are responsible for payment at the time of service.

Depending on whether your policy offers out-of-network coverage, your insurer may reimburse you a portion of each visit. I will provide you with documentation to submit for reimbursement.

Questions for Your Insurance Company

To find out how much coverage your insurance provides, you can ask the following questions:

  • Does my policy include mental health benefits?
  • How much will insurance cover and how much will I be responsible for paying?
  • Do I have a deductible to meet? If so, how much of that have I met already?
  • Do I have coverage for outpatient psychotherapy with an out-of-network provider?
  • For out-of-network coverage, does the insurance company pay a percentage of the provider's fee or a predefined allowable amount?
  • How many psychotherapy sessions does my insurance plan authorize per calendar year?

Self-Pay and Out-of-Network Fees

For clients seeking out-of-network reimbursement, I will provide documentation in the form of a “superbill” for you to submit to your insurance company.
