Frequently asked questions

Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis on file in order to reimburse for sessions, and that diagnosis becomes part of your permanent medical record. They can also audit and claw back payment after the fact if they decide treatment wasn't "medically necessary." Staying out-of-network lets treatment be based on your goals rather than a diagnostic code, and keeps more of my time focused on our work together rather than insurance paperwork.However, most insurance policies will let you submit receipts for at least partial reimbursement, and I am happy to provide receipts for your visit! If you have out-of-network benefits, I'm happy to provide a superbill — an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. I'd recommend calling the number on your insurance card and asking about your out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits.
