Therapist's note
I am in-network with Aetna in New York State only and out-of-network with all other insurance plans.
For non-Aetna patients: To help you ease into the out-of-network reimbursement process with insurance, I have a 3 Tier fee system where my standard fees are slightly discounted for the first 6 months. Patients with out-of-network benefits may get reimbursed 50-80% of the session fees by submitting my bills to their insurance company.
Please message me on Zencare to learn more about my consultation process and fee structure.
I will also provide a handout with questions to ask insurance to find out about your reimbursement rates.
