FAQS

I currently accept several insurance plans including most Aetna, Optum, Medica, and United Healthcare plans, as well as some Employee Assistance Plans including Lyra Health.

For all other insurances, you may have out-of-network benefits, which means that insurance will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I can submit out of network claims directly on your behalf.

For private pay or out-of-network clients, the intake session is $250 and all standard-length follow-up sessions (45-50 minutes) are $215.

In person appointments, when available, take place at 5200 Willson Road, Suite 150 in Edina, Minnesota near Highway 100.

Virtual appointments are available to clients who reside in Minnesota or who are in any PSYPACT-participating state.

For any virtual session, please find a space that is comfortable, private, and has a stable internet connection - such as a room with a door in your home or office. For safety and privacy reasons, I am not able to hold a virtual session while a client is driving or in a public place.

In most cases, yes! Because I have been granted an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT™) through PSYPACT, I am legally able to see clients while they are physically located in most states. Please ask if you would like to check on a specific state.

Under the No Surprises Act implemented in January of 2022, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for therapy and psychiatry services. This is called a “Good Faith Estimate.”

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services.

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

• Make sure your health care 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 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.
