Pros & Cons of Self-Pay,
Insurance & Out of Network Benefits

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

  • You may not feel confident about 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)

​

Cons

  • Insurance companies can audit and view parts of your chart at anytime, infringing 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)

​

OON Benefits

Pros

  • You can see a provider you click with who does not take your insurance

​

  • You can receive a portion of your session costs back like a rebate

​

Cons
  • Wait time for reimbursement                                    

  • Reimbursement is not guaranteed

​

  • OON services are still linked with insurance involvement, and insurance companies could still impose on treatment

​

Options For Working With Me

Self Pay
​
  • My rates are: $200 per 60-90 min intake, $120 per 1 hour session, $240 per 3 hour intensive session (including 30 min break).
  • During your intake,  I'll work with you to set yourself up for success. I will help you decide on how many sessions to do per month to receive the most benefits while staying in your therapy budget.​
​
​
Insurance
​
  • I currently accept Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Optum/United, Medicaid/Husky.                            
  • Contact me to inquire about if I take your specific insurance plan.
​​
​
Out of Network Benefits
​
  • I use Mentaya to help you get reimbursed if you have OON Benefits for an insurance I do not take. This means you pay me directly, and Mentaya works to get you a reimbursement.
  • Contact me and I can run your information through my system to confirm your benefits.
