I do not have contracts for direct payment with any health insurance company for my services. However, you can submit the receipt for these services to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. I will be more than happy to provide receipts for services provided.

Important information about insurance and your privacy:

In order to receive benefits, insurance companies require that you have a diagnosis of a mental disorder on your claim and that treatment is medically necessary.

That means you must be given a diagnosis of some type of mental disorder as specified in the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).

This diagnosis, nature of treatment, lifestyle and other pertinent information is often fed into a national medical information database that centralizes information. Please remember that this diagnosis becomes part of your medical record and this database information is accessible for 7 years.
