Rates, Insurance & Payment

Need-based sliding fee is available for self-pay (this means you choose not to use your insurance) clients.  The sliding fee can go as low as 25% discount (about $130 for intake, $110 thereafter).  I do NOT ask for any income verification and trust your judgement to choose what is affordable for you.  This option is available only if I am not in network with your insurance, and you are choosing not to involve your insurance including asking for reimbursement as an out-of-network benefit.  

- Aetna/GEHA

- Cigna

- First Choice Health Network

- Kaiser Permanente Options/PPO (NOT HMO/CORE plans.  However, they often give their clients an authorization to seek out-of-network providers with in-network fee up to 30 visits per year by calling their Behavioral Health line.  I need their authorization number, allowed number of visits and effective dates for billing)

- LifeWise of Washington

- Lyra EAP 

- Premera Blue Cross

- SOME of Out of State Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans (need to verify)

If I am out-of-network, I do NOT bill them directly. Instead, I will provide you with an itemized bill of full fee aka superbill, which you can submit to your insurance company for out-of-network coverage/reimbursement.  Please make sure your insurance has such benefits first to avoid surprising cost!  They are typically more expensive for you than your in-network benefits.
