Fees & Policies
Insurance
I will give you a receipt for your insurance company. You would file your claim with them. All reimbursement is between you and your insurance company. You may want to call your provider prior to our first appointment, to get information regarding reimbursement so you will know what to expect from your company. You need to tell them that you will be using your "out of network" benifits. It may be helpful to find out your deductible, what percent of each session is covered and if there is a limit to the number of sessions allowed.
Fees / Session Length
The fee for each session is required at the time of service. Hourly sessions last approximately fifty (50) minutes. An hour and a half session would last 75 continual minutes. I can accept cash, checks or credit cards but no American Express and will provide you with a receipt for your insurance company if you'd like.

Please make any changes regarding an appointment via phone, not email. It is more direct and you will reach me faster.
