Fees

For Clients who have United Healthcare in Missouri, I can submit out of network upon request.

For example, The University of Missouri Custom Network Plan currently pays about $108 per 45 minute in-person session once you have met your out-of-network deductible (please look that up). 

I also can provide a superbill for other insurance companies that you may use to collect out-of-network benefits, which are generally about 60% of their allowable fee once you meet your out-of- network deductible.

Please note you cannot submit to Medicare. If you agree to work with me, Medicare requires you to take responsibility for the full fee. 

I do still accept Aetna insurance though I expect to go off it at some point in the future. 

In 2023, after much thought, I decided to stop taking insurance. I took insurance for years despite the hassles because it allowed me to see people from diverse economic circumstances. I am no longer willing to deal with insurance companies. I do provide a limited number of sliding scale spots. 

One advantage for those who can afford not to use insurance, is increased privacy and no battle to justify services. Insurance companies will not have access to any of your mental health records without your permission. (If you submit or request that I submit for out-of-network reimbursement, they will have access to a diagnosis).
