Insurance, Rates, and payment for services
Service Rates
Individual therapy session: $200/hour
Group therapy session: $100/hour
Weekly Classes: varies based on studio rates
I do not charge for therapy sessions cancelled more than 24 hours in advance. 100% of session cost will be charged for no-shows or cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance for individual/group therapy. For weekly classes or workshops, cancellation rates vary but usually are not refundable.
Before we meet I will provide you with a good faith estimate of your costs so there are no surprise bills. If I am unable to meet your budget needs, I will provide recommendations to help connect you to reputable services.
Insurance Information
I am in network with Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska (including FEP) and Alaska Medicaid. Otherwise I accept payment for therapy services via cash, CashApp, Venmo, Paypal, HSA/FSA or Credit Card. Payment is due at the time of service.
For other insured clients, I can provide a monthly detailed receipt of services and payments, called a superbill, to submit to your insurance carrier for out-of-network (OON) services. Clients may be reimbursed a portion of their payment, usually phrased as “co-insurance,” depending on coverage. Many insurance carriers have OON coverage and the process is usually straight forward. Please call your insurance company or check in your online portal or mobile app to verify your benefits. I can assist you with this at your first appointment but to get started you can check out these How-To videos:
How to Submit a Claim and Get Reimbursement- (3.5 min) This one is made by Cigna but the general process is pretty similar for most major insurance carriers.
Out of Network Therapist- (8.5 min) A very clear and simple overview of what it means to do “cash-pay” with an OON therapist with illustrative examples.
