Insurance Coverage

Many health insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of counseling.

It is very important that you contact your insurance company before the first appointment in order to clarify your coverage for mental health care. The best way to get this information is by calling the number on your insurance card. You may notice that there is a different number for mental health related questions.

If you are able to get all the following information clarified, then I'll be glad for you to pay only your portion of the fee. However, if you prefer for me to get this information on your behalf, then I'll ask you to pay my standard fee ($115) until I have time to get this info. Info I'll need:

Am I "in-network" or "out-of-network" on your policy?
How much is your deductible?
How much of your deductible remains to be covered?
What is your co-pay for seeing me?
Is precertification required? (If so, ask the agent to go ahead and set up the precertification. Precertification info can be faxed to me at 254.230.4401.)

If it turns out that you still need to meet a deductible, and paying the full fee until the deductible is met creates a hardship for you, then I'll work out a plan with you for you to pay off a portion of the deductible with each session.

In order to file on your insurance, I'll need a copy of your card, along with general information requested above. If you are not the primary policy holder, then I'll need the following info on the primary policy holder:
