  • Yes, I take most insurance plans. Currently, I am in network with Aetna, Evernorth (Cigna), Keystone Health Plan East (Magellan), Blue Cross Blue Shield plans (Highmark, Anthem, etc), and Quest Behavioral Health (Penn Medicine plans). I do not take United/Optum. My out of network rate is $160. Clients are responsible for verifying network benefits. Clients are responsible for the full cost of unpaid insurance claims.

  • I am licensed in Pennsylvania, and I conduct in person sessions in the Rittenhouse neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA.

    Virtual sessions are available for anyone in the state of Pennsylvania and require that clients must be in the state of Pennsylvania during the session. It does not matter where your home address is. This is because I am only licensed to practice in the state of PA so the client must be in the state of PA during the session. Special circumstances apply to vacations. Please contact me to discuss more if you have additional questions.

  • We meet using Zoom, a reliable, HIPAA-compliant video-messaging service. I send my Zoom link via email after the intake paperwork is completed.

 Insurance FAQs

  • This depends completely on your insurance plan. We only know for sure once the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) comes back after the claim is processed. Most of the time, sessions will be the cost of the copay under “Specialist” on your insurance card unless you have a high deductible plan.

  • If you have a high deductible plan, you will be responsible for the full cost of session until you hit your deductible amount. Then your insurance might pay for 80% or 90% of the session moving forward.

  • Yes.

  • No. You may opt out of using insurance by signing an Opt-Out form. This means that you cannot submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. When you do not use insurance, your insurance company will not have access to your diagnosis or treatment notes (in the case of an audit). Otherwise, each session is submitted to your insurance company with a diagnosis code. Session notes are never sent to the insurance company unless they request notes for auditing purposes. I have had a request for one insurance audit so far in my career. I always communicate to my clients if an audit is happening.

  • Out of Network means you are choosing to receive services without using your insurance company. This means that you will pay the full cost of session, which is $160.

  • This means I am Out of Network for you. Session cost is $160. Some insurance companies reimburse for Out of Network providers. This means that you can ask me for a Superbill, submit receipts to your insurance company, and you may receive a portion of the cost back from your insurance company. Some insurances do not have Out of Network benefits.

    You can also check your Out of Pocket maximum to verify how much you would have to pay out of pocket before insurance would start to cover the cost of sessions. For example, if you have an Out of Pocket maximum of $3000, you would pay for 19 sessions before insurance would cover the cost. 19 sessions is approximately five months of weekly sessions.
