Insurance and Billing Information

What does being an "out-of-network" provider mean?

Being an out-of-network provider means I don’t take insurance. Some insurance companies offer "out-of-network" benefits and may reimburse you for therapy expenses. You should call your insurance company and ask about out-of-network benefits. If your insurance does offer them I can provide you with a receipt, also called a “superbill”, which includes information you typically need to file an insurance claim for reimbursement.

You should contact your insurance company and ask:

• Does your plan offer “out-of-network” mental health benefits?
• What is your deductible and its start/end period?
• What is the percentage rate for reimbursement?
• Is there is a limit to the number of sessions covered?
• Do they cover services provided by a New York State Licensed Psychoanalyst?
• Is there pre-authorization required?
• What other conditions must be satisfied for out-of-network reimbursement?

Why do you choose to be an "out-of-network provider"?

I choose to work as an out-of-network provider to prioritize the quality and confidentiality of care I offer my clients. This approach allows me to avoid the constraints and administrative burdens often imposed by insurance companies, such as mandated treatment plans or session limits, which can interfere with individualized therapy. By remaining out-of-network, I maintain the flexibility to tailor therapy to your unique needs and pace, ensuring a more personalized and client-centered experience.
