I am a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I do not accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefit, which meant that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out of network process automatically for you. With Thrizer you will only have to pay you copay for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions.
