Fee

• My fee is $155 per 55-minute session. 

• I offer a limited number of reduced-fee appointment spots for clients with restricted financial resources.

Insurance

• I am in network (a "preferred provider") with most Regence, Premera, LifeWise, and other BlueCross BlueShield plans. If you have one of these plans, this means that I can bill your insurance company directly for your sessions, as long as I diagnose a condition that the company determines indicates "medical necessity." Insurance will pay a portion of the costs according to your coverage, and you are responsible for paying any amount that they do not cover, up to their maximum allowed amount. 

• If you have health insurance from a company or plan for which I am not in network, you will be responsible for paying my full standard fee per session. I can provide you with monthly “superbill" receipts which you can use to submit to your health insurance for out-of-network partial reimbursement according to your coverage.

No Surprises Act — According to this Federal act, if you don’t have insurance or choose to pay for health services without using your health insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of what your services may cost.
