Benefits you when you are not using insurance:
Fee for service means that I work for you, not the insurance company
You and I dictate the length of your service and do not need approval to meet until you feel treatment is complete
We decide together how long your sessions will be (insurance companies strongly discourage us from billing for sessions that are longer than 53 minutes and they can challenge the charges by asking to review our notes, refuse to pay, and ask for their money back is they disagree that the time was needed)
We decide together how frequently your sessions will be (Insurance companies can ask to review notes to determine if the frequency of our sessions are warranted, refuse to pay, or ask for money back)
You and Idecide together which types of services will be helpful (Insurance companies want to see routine types of services that have shown evidenced base and may not want to pay for types of interventions that you and I believe would be helpful)
I will not be requied to get your consent up front to provide Insurance companies information abouto our work together (You do not have to be concerned that your insurance company requires your consent up front to share information to prove your diagnosis, and treatment plan and can require at their discretion copies of notes to provide detailed information to prove you need the service that you may not want to disclose)
Credit/debit/HSA/FSA cards (VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express)
Payment is expected at the time of service
We do not add a service fee as some practices do for using your credit card
