Insurance & Fees
My current rate for an individual session is $125.
My current rate for groups that meet weekly or alternate weeks is $45 a session.
Groups that meet monthly are $50 a month. (Please note that my groups do not meet
the "medical necessity" criteria to be covered by insurance. Instead of treating mental illness,
these groups are designed to increase life satisfaction and self-awareness. You can read more about
my groups at www.WomensTherapyGroupsSeattle.com)
I accept cash, check, HSA or FSA cards, and credit or debit cards.
Cancellation policy for individual sessions: 48 hours notice in order to avoid being charged full fee;
appointments on Mondays need to be cancelled by the end of the business day on Thursday.
I am a Preferred Provider (in-network) for the following health care plans:
*Cigna
*Premera
*LifeWise
*First Choice
*Kaiser Access PPO
*Kaiser Options
*Wellspring EAP
As a Preferred Provider, I'll bill your insurer directly, and you'll owe me your copay/coinsurance (and deductible if it isn't paid yet). It's always a good idea to check with your insurer regarding coverage specifics. If your plan requires pre-authorization, it is your responsibility to acquire authorization.
I am an Out-of-Network Provider for the following health care plans:
*Aetna
*UBH
*Regence
As an Out-of-Network provider you'll pay me up front and I'll provide you with the necessary form to submit for reimbursement. As an out-of-network provider my agreement is with you, rather than with your insurance company. It's always a good idea to check with your insurer regarding coverage specifics.
You may choose to not use your health insurance for therapy, in order to maintain a higher level of confidentiality. When a health insurance plan isn't involved, the work is simply between you & I with no third parties involved.
Please print out and bring these forms to your first appointment:
