Insurance:

  • In-Network:         Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas
  • Out of network with all other insurance plans.  If you desire to utilize your health insurance for a plan for which I am not in-network, we can provide you with a receipt to file for reimbursement with your health insurance company.  We cannot guarantee coverage on your policy approval for services is contingent on multiple factors.  Please remember to confirm your level of coverage with your insurance company, Employee Assistance Program, or Flexible Spending Account plan.
  • Please be aware that insurance companies require that I provide a diagnosis as part of your treatment that is documented on your receipt and becomes a part of your permanent medical record.

If you choose to utilize your Out-of-Network benefits, please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

  • Do I have Mental Health Insurance and/or EAP benefits?
  • What is my deductible, and has it been met?
  • How many sessions per calendar year does my Mental Health Plan or EAP plan cover?
  • Does my plan cover “Out-of-Network” Providers?
  • How much will my insurance pay for an Out-of-Network Provider?
  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
  • Is approval required from my Primary Care Physician (PCP)?

Cancellation policy:

Appointment times are reserved specifically for you. While it’s understandable that emergencies sometimes arise, I am unable to schedule other clients to fill canceled appointments without adequate notice.  Therefore, cancellations must be made by phone at least 24 hours prior to your appointment; otherwise, a missed appointment charge of 1/2 of the normal session fee may apply. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
