Insurance
I accept many types of insurance including:
Blue Cross/Blue Shield
Aetna
United Behavioral Health
United Healthcare
Harvard Pilgrim
Tufts Healthplan
MultiPlan/PHCS
TriCare
Medicare
Beacon Health Strategies
Neighborhood Health Plan (NHP)
Be sure to check with your specific plan to determine if I am a participating provider. Some plans use different providers for mental health coverage and medical coverage, which may not be indicated on your insurance card. If you have any questions about your insurance plan, please call your plan directly or contact me.
If I am an in-network provider, you are responsible for the amount that is not covered by your plan, which is typically a co-pay or a deductible amount.
Out of Network Benefits
If I am not an in-network provider for you, your insurance may allow you to see out-of-network providers. I can work with you to determine what your cost will be, based on your insurance plan.
Fees
If you are using your insurance, you are responsible for the appropriate copay or deductible amount. If you are not using your insurance, please contact me about my private-pay fee. A sliding scale fee is available based on your financial situation.
Confidentiality
Therapy is an opportunity to speak with the comfort of knowing that conversations are kept confidential. In this way, clients can be free to speak whatever is on their mind without fear of consequence or loss of privacy, except in situations that involve a threat to life, abuse of a minor or an elder, or in other specific areas as defined by the law.
This also means that I do not release any information about clients without written authorization to do so. My confidentiality policy is discussed in detail during the first therapy session.
