Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept insurance?

I am in-network with the Stanford Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), also known as Wellfleet. Otherwise, I do not accept insurance and am considered an out-of-network provider. I can provide a monthly statement or “superbill” for you to submit to your insurance carrier for potential reimbursement. I am currently unable to see clients with Medicare coverage in my private practice.

What are your fees?

Please reach out to me directly to discuss my current rates. I reserve a limited portion of my practice for clients on a sliding scale, based on financial circumstances.

How much will insurance companies reimburse me for out-of-network services?

Many insurance carriers offer reimbursement for my services, but reimbursement rates vary by carrier and plan. I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly and asking the following:

  • Does my plan include out-of-network benefits to see an outpatient psychiatrist (MD)?

  • Is there an annual deductible I have to reach before I am eligible for reimbursements?

  • Once the deductible is met, what are the reimbursement rates for codes 90792 (intake), 99214 plus 90836 (50 minute therapy-focused follow up), and 99214 plus 90833 (30 minute medication-focused follow up)?

  • How many sessions per year does my plan cover?

  • How do I submit a “superbill” for reimbursement?

Do you see children or teenagers?

At this time, I work with clients ages 18 and older.
