I am currently in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Aetna.
I am not in-network with Blue Value or Blue Local with Wake Forest plans.
It is important for you to confirm with your mental health benefits with your insurance coverage, including copay and deductible. If you use insurance, I have to assign you a diagnosis that will become part of your health record. For couples and relationship therapy, one partner has to be the "identified client" in order for me to bill insurance. If you are concerned about the diagnosis process, we can discuss private pay.

Good Faith Estimate
Starting on January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act (NSA) protects uninsured (or self-pay) individuals from many unexpectedly high medical bills. The Act requires that healthcare providers and facilities give uninsured (or self-pay) individuals a good faith estimate (GFE) for the cost of their health care before the individual agrees to get the item or service. This Good Faith Estimate will show the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your healthcare needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created and will be provided to you when you schedule your first appointment or upon request prior to scheduling an appointment. If the uninsured (or self-pay) individual is billed for an amount at least $400 above the estimate, the individual may be eligible to start a Patient-Provider Dispute Resolution (PPDR) process by submitting a request to HHS and paying a small administrative fee. The PPDR process is handled by a third-party company certified by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This company will decide if the estimated amount, or billed amount, or another amount in between the estimated amount and billed amount should be paid. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 368-1019.
