Out-of-Network Insurance Reimbursement

I am an out-of-network provider and would be happy to provide the required documentation for you to receive reimbursement for my services. If your insurance company offers out-of-network mental health benefits, you should receive some reimbursement for the cost of my services (many companies cover between 50-70% of the cost for each session).
