Reimbursement is not guaranteed for out of network benefits. Please check with your insurance company to verify your out-of-network coverage.
Here are some questions to ask:
-Do I have “out of network mental health benefits”?

-Do I have a co-pay?
-How do I submit claims in order to receive reimbursement?
-What information is necessary in order to submit my claims?

Yes. There is a cancellation policy requiring clients to cancel at least 24 hours before scheduled session. Any sessions cancelled less than 24 hours before will be subject to the full session fee. This policy is for both insurance and cash pay clients. Insurance clients will pay the full cancellation fee, which is not subject to co-payment.
Life happens, and as such each client is allowed one waiver of this fee per 12 month period.
