Insurance

I am registered as an in-network provider for a number of insurance carriers and my services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee assistance plan (EAP). Talk to your benefits department or call the phone number on your insurance card to clearly understand your coverage. Below is a list of questions that should help you understand your coverage:

  • Does my insurance include mental health benefits?
  • What is my deductible and has it been met?
  • How many sessions per calendar year does my health plan cover?
  • What is my required co-pay or co-insurance per session?
  • Is Mary Elijah an in-network mental health provider?
  • How much does my plan cover for an in-network / out-of-network provider?
  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?
  • Is family therapy covered?

Please note that insurance companies require submission of a diagnosis and specific clinical data. If you choose to use insurance or managed care to cover part of the cost of your sessions, please be aware that I will be required to provide that information. I have no control over the confidentiality procedures of third parties once clinical information leaves my office. If absolute privacy of your therapy records is a concern for you, you may prefer to pay for your sessions and not involve third party payers.
Reduced Fee

Reduced fee services are available on a limited basis.

Payment

Cash, checks, Visa or MasterCard are acceptable forms for payment. Payment is due in full at the time of service.

Cancellation Policy

If you do not show up for your scheduled appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay a cancellation fee which is outlined in the policy sheet. Please be respectful of the fact that we need adequate time to rebook the session. Emergencies that are not under your control will be taken into consideration on a case-by-case basis.
