Insurance Options

Please note, if you choose to use your insurance through in-network benefits or out-of-network benefits, a diagnosis must be given.

In network:

BCBS of North Carolina (Blue Value Plans Not Accepted)

Carefirst BCBS (Maryland)

Aetna (Maryland and North Carolina)

Out of network:

All clients utilizing their out-of-network benefits are charged the full fee upfront and may later be reimbursed by their insurance provider.  Clients who are interested in seeking potential reimbursement from their insurance company are invited to request a 'Super Bill' upon payment.  It is important that you contact your insurance company before you begin treatment in order to discover your available coverage for mental health counseling from an out-of-network provider so that you can understand what options are available to you.

In some cases, I may be able to courtesy submit out-of-networks claims on your behalf.

Reasons you may want to opt out of utilizing your insurance:

  1. Claims are not submitted to insurance therefore no diagnosis is given which can be beneficial for some clients depending on job clearance and security or divorce/court circumstances.

  2. Insurance companies will not be able to dictate your length of time in treatment. Diagnosis must meet medical necessity in order to be covered and sometimes insurance companies will give an allowed number of sessions. 

  3. Insurance may not cover telehealth sessions.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using their insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and procedures.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected costs of for any non-emergency related items of services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipments, and hospital fees.

  • Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, or any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

  • Make sure to save a copy or take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
