Insurance
For clients in NY state, I accept the following insurances:
Aetna
Oscar
Oxford
United Healthcare
Sadly, I am not able to accept non-New York insurances at this time.
However, many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits which means you may receive reimbursement for a portion of the fee after meeting your deductible. If you are unsure whether you have out-of-network benefits or what they may cover, please contact your insurance provider.
Please note that filing an insurance claim requires a mental health diagnosis to be assigned. If you have any concerns, please let me know and I would be happy to discuss this further.
You can use FSA or HSA funds to pay for therapy as it is generally considered an allowable medical expense.
Good Faith Estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, healthcare providers and healthcare facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal healthcare program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-877-696-6775.
