My fee is $195 per session.

If you live in New York State and do not have insurance, or have insurance with a provider that I am not in-network with, my services are generally reimbursed in full or in part by insurance plans with out-of-network benefits. If your insurance carrier reimburses out-of-network services, I will provide you with a service invoice which includes my clinical license number, a diagnostic code and treatment code. You can then submit this service invoice to your insurance carrier for reimbursement.

To determine if your insurance carrier reimburses for out-of-network mental health services, contact a customer service representative of your insurance provider. The following are questions that I recommend you ask to determine your out-of-network coverage. 

• Does my insurance plan cover out-of-network mental health services (procedure code 90837) with an LCSW?

• What is the covered amount per therapy session?

• Do I have an out-of-network deductible, and if so, have I met it?

• What are the specific steps I need to take to be reimbursed for out-of-network psychotherapy services?

• Is there a limit to the number of mental health visits I can have each year? If so, how many visits are allowed?

• Do I need a referral from my primary care physician for my services to be covered?
