Payments and Insurance
Payments and Insurance
We accept most major insurance carriers: CareFirst Blue Cross / Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Credit/Debit Cards. A sliding Scale fee may be extended based on financial need.
All other services rendered will be on a fee-for-service basis and payment is expected at the time of service.
Our Fee For Service rates are:
$150 for your initial intake session
$125 for all subsequent therapy sessions
$125 for family/couples sessions
Our rates for medication management services are as follows:
$265 for your initial intake session
$155 – $195 for all other medication management follow up sessions
Rates may vary based on complexity and length of session as determined by the provider.
If you would like to use your insurance, we can submit claims directly to your insurance company. They will process the claim and you will only be responsible for what your insurance plan dictates (either your copay, coinsurance or deductible). We do not determine what those costs are so if you have questions about what your out of pocket expenses are, it is best for you to contact your insurance company directly before scheduling services.
If we are “out of network” with your insurance plan or you opt not to use your insurance, you will be responsible for paying our full session rate directly. You may choose after that to submit to your insurance company who may reimburse you directly for any out of network benefits you may be qualify for.
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your provider, or any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Please make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate for reference.
