Do you accept insurance?
We are “in network” and “out-of-network” providers with insurance companies. Feel free to ask more about your insurance plan coverage during the booking process. In the event, your insurance plan is not accepted, you may verify with your insurance the rate and/or percentage of reimbursement for out-of-network behavioral health and medical services.
We will provide you with a detailed receipt upon the conclusion of each session with information insurance companies require for reimbursement. You will then submit this receipt to your insurance company, and they will reimburse you, directly.
