If you lack insurance and are struggling with finances, we can set an acceptable fee. If you have insurance that I bill for services, I
am not allowed to waive or adjust your portion of the fee (i.e., deductible, copay, or coinsurance). As a general rule, I will collect
insurance information from you over the phone before our first appointment to verify your mental health coverage. It is important
that you also find out what mental health services your insurance policy covers. Managed health care plans sometimes require
referral or authorization before they provide reimbursement for mental health services.
