Insurance

I am a participating in-network provider with Aetna. I also work with many clients insured by other insurance companies on an out-of-network basis.

If you are insured by Aetna, you will be responsible for paying any applicable co-payment as defined by your policy.

If you have coverage through a different insurance company, you may be eligible for reimbursement of fees that you pay to an an out-of-network psychologist. At the end of each month, I provide a receipt that you may submit to your insurance company for partial reimbursement.

You may call the toll-free number on your insurance card to ask about the rate at which they reimburse you for fees you pay an out-of-network psychologist. I recommend asking for the following information:

  • Does my plan include benefits for going to an out-of-network psychologist?
  • Am I responsible for paying an annual deductible before starting to receive reimbursements?
  • Is pre-authorization required?
  • At what rate would I be reimbursed going to an out-of-network psychologist?
  • What is the typical time lag between submitting a claim and receiving the reimbursement check?
  • How many sessions are allowed per year?
