Do you take my insurance? I do not accept insurance, nor am I on any insurance panels. However, if you would like to access your “out of network” benefits, I can provide you with a Statement for reimbursement for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. A word of warning though: In order to do this, I am required by insurance companies to give you a “Diagnosis Code” which will become part of your permanent medical record. Please contact your insurance provider to make sure your policy includes out of network mental health providers and counseling services.
