Fees & Insurance
Fees
My fee is $90-$175 for a 50-minute session individual session
Family Sessions $225/75-minute session. Payments are made at the time of each therapy session.
Payment
I accept cash, check and all major credit cards as forms of payment. I also accept payment directly on my site via this page.
Clients are required to maintain a card on file for payments and may elect for auto-pay.
Benefits of private pay
Private pay clients have the freedom to choose the focus, duration, and frequency of therapy. More services are permitted without restrictions, such as online counseling.
A mental health diagnosis is not mandatory for private pay clients and therefore not added to your personal health record and you won’t have to worry that your health records may create problems for you in the future.
Insurance premiums and life insurance policies will not increase based on mental health diagnoses and treatments.
Insurance
I am in network with UCare, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Optum/UnitedHealthcare
I understand insurance can be complicated, confusing and sometimes stigmatizing.
Although we prefer to provide services in a holistic and non-pathologizing approach, we are willing to explore the risks and benefits of utilizing insurance, the costs associated and impact of a behavioral health diagnosis, which is required if insurance is being used to pay for treatment.
Calling your insurance company prior to your appointment is encouraged to have a clear understanding of your specific plan’s benefit.
Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part.
Please contact your insurance to verify how your plan covers you for psychotherapy services.
I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
Is Envisioning Wellness an in network or out of network provider?
Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
What is my co-pay for visits with my provider?
Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
Do I need pre-authorization for treatment? If yes, from whom?
Does my plan cover tele-health services?
Asking for support
I know how hard it can be to find the right fit for you. If you are interested in services or have questions regarding services and my approach to therapy/consultations/trainings feel free to contact me.
Your questions are welcome.
