I am an out of network provider with all insurances.

My fee is $200 for a 50 min session.

I do have limited sliding scale appts. Please ask me.

Upon request, I can provide you with a Superbill which you can take to your insurance company for possible reimbursement of part of the cost of clinical services.

Health insurance companies often dictate the type, length, and number of sessions clients are able to access and prevent me from ensuring therapy meets the needs of the client first and foremost.

I have intentionally chosen not to be paneled with insurance providers so that I am able to focus on mental health and client experience over billing codes and the profit margins of corporations.

• You don’t want a limited number of sessions . Some insurance plans only allow a certain number of sessions per year.

• You have a high deductible plan (*A deductible is the amount you have to pay upfront before your insurance coverage kicks in. If you have a $5,000 deductible and you haven’t had any other medical expenses yet in the year, you are responsible for paying up to $5,000 in therapy session fees out-of-pocket before your standard copay applies. This is a case where seeing an in-network therapist and out-of-network therapist can accrue similar costs).

• You have good out-of-network benefits. If you have good out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse you as much as 80% of each session fee, depending on your plan. This means that in some situations, using your out-of-network benefits can actually be more affordable or comparable to your standard copay to see an in-network therapist.

• You don’t wish to use insurance benefits due to privacy from insurance companies or family.

• You found a great match. Your relationship with your therapist is one of the most important aspects of the healing process.

• You don’t want a diagnosis in your medical record. Insurance companies require a diagnostic code from providers when submitting claims/superbills.

I require a minimum of 24h in advance notice to cancel your scheduled appointment. If less than less than 24h/ no show - you will be charged a fee of $200.

The best way to be sure of your benefits coverage is to call your insurance company member services line and ask:

• What is my out-of-network deductible for outpatient mental health?

• How much of my deductible has been met this year?

• What is my out-of-network coinsurance for outpatient mental health (CPT codes 90791 & 90837)?

• Do I need a referral from an in-network provider to see someone out-of-network?

• How do I submit claim forms for reimbursement?

Beginning January 1, 2022, 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. You may request a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and therefore does not require you to obtain all of the items or services outlined as available to be provided by Lisa Patrick. The foundation of a good therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is the client’s right to autonomy and self-determination. Therefore, you (as the client) have the right to terminate services at any time. 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.
