Pros & Cons of Self-Pay vs Insurance
SELF PAY
Pros
-
It's the most private way possible for you to receive therapy
​
-
​It's straightforward (you pay & that's it)
​
-
There are no surprises (you know what it costs and nothing changes suddenly)
​
Cons
-
It can take time to understand what you're investing in right away (typically, within 4-8 sessions you will feel the investment paying off)
​
-
You will not be paying towards a deductible on a medical plan
INSURANCE
Pros
-
Session costs can go towards your deductible on a medical plan (if you have one and your deductible is not already met)
​​
-
It is possible for you to save money on the cost of sessions (if your co-pay amount is lower than the session cost and/or your deductible is low enough). *Please note, sometimes copays are comparable to self pay
​
Cons
-
Insurance companies can audit and view parts of your chart at any time, which can infringe on privacy
​
-
Insurance companies can stop covering services they do not deem medically necessary (charts can be audited which can put a strain on the counselor/client dynamic)

Options For Working With Me
Self-Pay
​
-
My self-pay rate is $150 per 90-minute session for both individual and couple's sessions
-
I choose to conduct longer sessions when clients self-pay, as one-hour sessions are often limiting for the clients I serve (couples and individuals with complex trauma and relationship issues)
​​​
Insurance
​​​
-
I currently accept Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Optum/United, Medicaid/Husky.
-
Typically, insurance covers 55 minute sessions
-
The amount you pay per session varies by plan (call the number on your insurance card to find out what you would pay for a session)
