EMDR therapy is charged at the same rate as a typical therapy session, which is $150 per session for private pay, or can be billed to your insurance if I'm in network with your health insurance plan.

Question 7

What is a super bill and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A super bill is a summary of all the healthcare services you have received. The process is:
You see me for an individual therapy session.
After the session, you pay $150.
I create a super bill, including information about your session, your diagnosis, treatment plan, and the amount you paid, and send that to you.
You submit the super bill to your insurance company.
If your insurance company and plan will cover your service, they reimburse you.

Please note that if you wish to work with insurance, I am required to provide a diagnosis, your legal name, and services provided on your super bill.

Question 8

Good Faith Estimate Notice

Accepted Answer

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency session, including therapy. You can ask your therapist for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a session.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Learn more about a Good Faith Estimate here.
