Fees & Insurance

My fees are as follows:

Intake (60 minutes): $270

Regular session (50 minutes): $235

Longer sessions may be scheduled where clinically appropriate (e.g. for exposure therapy). Fees for extended sessions are pro-rated and will be detailed in your intake paperwork.

I am a private pay (a.k.a. “out-of-network”) provider. That means that I do not accept insurance. Clients pay my full fee at the time of each session. (I recognize that this is an investment; this is why I use evidence-based treatments designed to help you recover more quickly.) I will provide you with documentation (known as a Superbill) to submit to your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits. A portion of your payments to me might be reimbursed to you.

Here are some questions to ask your insurance company:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental/behavioral health?

• How much will I be reimbursed for a 50-minute session (90834) with a psychologist in Baltimore City? How much will I be reimbursed for a 60-minute intake (90791)?

• Are there certain services that are not covered, and for which I will not be reimbursed (e.g., are certain treatment codes excluded or limited under my plan)?

• Do I have to meet a deductible before I am eligible for out-of-network benefits? Is this deductible waived for mental/behavioral health services?

• Is there a limit to the number of sessions for which I will be reimbursed, and/or do I need to obtain an authorization prior to seeking treatment?

• What documentation do I need to submit to receive reimbursement?
