Do you take insurance?

I’m an out-of-network provider who provides superbills on a monthly basis for reimbursement.

A superbill is the receipt that you need to submit to your insurance company in order for them to reimburse you for a portion of the services.

Clients pay my fee upfront. Most clients with PPO / POS insurance plans receive 40%-80% of my fees reimbursed (after any deductible is met).

We've partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.

Mentaya is perfect if you:

• Have out-of-network benefits

• Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance

• Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement

• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!

Here's how it works:

1. Sign up for Mentaya: https://mentaya.co/inviteclient/QUltXpTrrcDcn9EoeRcg

2. Our practice will enter your sessions into the platform.

3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.

4. You get reimbursed by insurance!

Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required,

dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.

It's risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.

How to verify your O-O-N Coverage?

You can contact your insurance provider to verify your out-of-network coverage.  When speaking with your insurance provider, some helpful questions to ask include:

• Do I have insurance benefits for out-of-network mental health/behavioral health services?

• Is there an out-of-network deductible that must be met?

• Is a referral required from my primary care physician?

How long do I need therapy?

The duration of treatment depends on your individual needs and pace. I do not accept clients who want to “try out” therapy. I am invested in my clients and ask that you be willing to invest in the work we do as well. Typically my clients work with me for a minimum of 6 months. However, many have chosen to walk with me for 2- 3 years.

My current license requires all telehealth sessions to occur with my clients physically located in New York state.

Serious Mental Health Condition Information.

According to NYS Licensed Professions, “the Education Law and Regents Rules specify that it is unprofessional conduct for a creative arts therapist, marriage and family therapist, mental health counselor, or psychoanalyst to provide any mental health service for a serious mental illness on a continuous and sustained basis without a medical evaluation of the illness by, and consultation with, a physician regarding such illness.” Read more here to learn about which Mental Health Diagnoses falls under this criteria.

Based on this information, in order to receive services, I may need to be in contact with a psychiatrist or MD for treatment consultation. This will be determined during our initial consultation call.
