Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical and psychotherapy services.
-
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services. This includes psychotherapy services.
-
You can also ask your health care provider, and 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 picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
-
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

Accepted Payments
All payment is due at the time of service. I can accept payments through most major credit or debit cards or HSA/FSA card. Credit/debit card information must be provided prior to your first session to secure your appointment slot and will be kept on file to cover any session fees, copays, co-insurance, or cancelation fees. Your information is stored in a secure, confidential online platform.
Insurance Billing
I am currently in-network with the following insurance companies:
-
Aetna
-
Blue Cross and Blue Shield
-
Optum
-
United Healthcare
-
UIUC Student Insurance
I work with a billing service to verify your benefits before your first appointment; however, you are ultimately responsible for understanding your own health insurance benefits. I cannot guarantee your insurance eligibility or coverage.
Out of Network Billing
If I do not currently accept your insurance, your insurance plan may still provide out of network benefits that you can use to pay for counseling services. I can provide you with a superbill (itemized receipt) to submit to your insurance company to request reimbursement for services. There is no guarantee of coverage. It is your responsibility to submit this information to your insurance company and speak with them about your available benefits.
Cancellation Policy
If you cancel within 24 hours or do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session. Please note, insurance will not reimburse missed appointment fees.
