Insurance
Blue Cross/Blue Shield Care First PPO (only) which is also Anthem of VA and the Federal Employee Plan. I do not participate with any other insurance panels. As stated, call your insurance company to find out what they pay toward ‘behavioral health’ sessions.
The benefit of using your insurance is that each therapy session will cost you less money. However, there are significant disadvantages to using insurance. Insurance companies can request to review all or part of your counseling files. For your sessions to be covered by insurance, I must make a formal diagnosis and speak with them about you, if requested. The information your insurance company has access to includes diagnoses, treatment planning, session notes, and other private information. This information becomes part of your permanent medical record with your carrier. Most individuals who come to see me are healthy, well-functioning individuals who want to improve their lives. Having a formal diagnosis documented on your medical record may not be in your best interest. It is up to you to decide if you want to share this information with your insurance company. I am willing to explain this further and explore other options.
Payment
I accept cash and check.
Cancellation Policy
If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 48 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.
