I know that cost and insurance questions are often among the first things potential clients think about. Below is a transparent explanation of how fees, insurance, and out-of-network reimbursement work. If you have questions about any of these topics, I'm happy to discuss it with you before we meet.
Standard Fees
My fee is $250 per session. I ask for payment at the time of service unless we have made other arrangements. Payment can be made using a credit, debit, or HSA card via my secure billing software (or by cash or check).
I have a sliding scale, which means we can discuss an alternate fee that is affordable to you.

Insurance
In-Network Benefits
I am an in-network provider with Mass General Brigham Health Plan* and with the Student Services plan for Boston College students.
If you are covered by one of these plans, sessions are billed directly to your insurance and you are responsible for any applicable copay or deductible.
*(Please note that I only take versions of MGBHP available to MGB employees and families but may be out-of-network for commercial versions of this plan)
Out-of-Network Benefits
If you have a different insurance plan, I am considered out-of-network. Many plans offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services. I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Because insurance benefits vary widely, I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to learn about your coverage, reimbursement rates, and any deductible requirements.

No Surprises Act
The No Surprises Act protects people covered under group and individual health plans from receiving surprise medical bills when they receive most emergency services, non-emergency services from out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, and services from out-of-network air ambulance service providers.
