insurance

I am not in-network with insurance companies. Many clients, however, are able to use out-of-network benefits. I encourage you to use the link below to quickly check your benefits. If you do have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a monthly superbill you may submit for reimbursement. Eligibility and reimbursement rates vary by plan.
