Fees:
The fee for therapy and consultations is $175 per 45 minute session. If you wish to pay for services privately (out of pocket), payment plans are available. As a courtesy to clients, insurance co-payments are billed monthly; prompt payment of invoices is kindly requested. Fees for educational and personality assessments begin at $2,500. Neuropsychological evaluation fees begin at $3,000. One half of the assessment fee is due at the time the assessment commences, and the remainder is due concurrent with the final feedback session.
Guidelines for Using Health Insurance for Payment
If you would like to use your health insurance for payment for therapy or assessments, the following guidelines may be helpful to you. As of September 1, 2015, the only insurance plans which I will directly bill are Blue Cross/ Blue Shield (BCBS) and Massachusetts Behavioral Health Plan (MBHP). Some plans will require that you attain a referral from your pediatrician, some require prior authorization for services, some require neither of these. Copayments (which are the client responsibility) vary with each plan, as do possible deductible amounts. This is why I strongly urge each client to contact their health insurance provider directly, and ask them about your specific benefits, coverage, limits, and requirements. You can find the phone number on the back of your health insurance card. You can share with them my National Provider ID number (1073848016), to ensure that I am part of your specific network.
Other Health Insurance Plans:Many health insurance plans, particularly those designated as PPO plans, will reimburse you for expenses you incur when you pay for assessments or therapy. I will provide you with a receipt for payment, which will include the information necessary to request reimbursement from your health insurance company. I urge you to contact your health insurance company, using the phone number on the back of your insurance card, to determine the eligibility, requirements, and limits for reimbursement. I will assist you by enrolling with your insurance company as an out-of-network provider (if they require this), as well as by providing you with a detailed receipt. I cannot, because of time limitations, bill other insurance companies directly, but will instead ask that you pay for services and request reimbursement from them.
