Insurance billing is the most common way sessions are billed. Insurance carriers vary in the allowed amount to be charged for each session, and thus the rate set by me is intended to capture the allowed amount without creating hardship on you. The set rate of $180 billed to insurance is different from the rate set for self/private pay. A private billing agency processes insurance claims for me, so the demands upon you related to insurance billing are minimal.
The self pay rate for those not seeking to use insurance will also vary depending on each person's financial capacity and can range from $75 to $125.
Using insurance is understandably a preferred choice for most people and that comes with the responsibility of understanding your coverage(s) and your knowing several things including (things to ask your insurance provider);
Do I have a deductible to be met before insurance covers some/all of my session cost?
Do I have a co-insurance percentage that I am responsible for a portion of each session?
Do I have a copay per session that I am responsible for and how much is it?
It is very important you know the answers to these questions so there are no surprises and unexpected costs that you are responsible for after having numerous sessions (as reimbursement is delayed 1-2 months after sessions are held).
