Rates / InsuranceMy self-pay rate is $110 per session hour.
Most insurance now covers individual therapy. Insurance typically requires a diagnosis. For this reason and to protect their confidentiality, some people understandably elect to not use insurance. For those who would rather not use their insurance for therapy, an opt-out form is signed at each session. In-Network I am in-network with most Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC plans (not Blue Value, Blue Local or the State Health Plan) and file claims for in-network sessions. For in-network sessions, a co-pay is made at each session. On April 9, BCBS updated to the following: "Our COVID-19 measures are in effect as of March 6, 2020. They were extended for an additional 30-day period starting on April 5, 2020, and will be re-evaluated for further extension." https://www.bluecrossnc.com/provider-news/covid-19-telehealth-update-and-details-how-stay-date For the latest BCBS announcements during coronavirus, visit: https://www.bluecrossnc.com/coronavirus. Out-of-Network* Many insurance companies provide out-of-network benefits and reimburse a percentage of the fee. Your insurance may consider me to be an out-of-network provider because I am a licensed clinician. Payment for out-of-network sessions is made at each session at the self-pay rate. I can provide information for you to file with your insurance and you may be reimbursed by your insurance according to your benefits. *Contact your insurance about your plan's out-of-network benefits and whether your deductible has been met. Some plans reimburse out-of-network services at 100% after the deductible has been met. Open Path Psychotherapy Collective Open Path provides affordable therapy for its members through a national network of therapists. I do not offer a sliding scale fee, however I am a participating Open Path therapist. I reserve a limited portion of my practice during afternoon hours for Open Path members at Open Path rates.
