For insurance-related questions, call the benefits number on the back of your insurance card. Ask if your plan includes a copay or deductible and if you can see a specific provider (e.g., Dr. Jon Weingarden or your specific provider). Generally, the copay for psychotherapy is the same as for a primary care physician (PCP) and is usually printed on the front of your insurance card.

There are two possible ways to cover the cost of sessions:

1. You can pay directly through the client portal and submit a "superbill" (a receipt) to your insurance for reimbursement. Superbills are automatically generated monthly, but I can send you one after each payment if you prefer.

2. I can set up electronic non-provider billing with most insurance companies. There may be a copay or deductible depending on your insurance.

Also called private-pay, can include people without insurance, those who wish not to use their insurance, or people who have insurance that covers out-of-network providers. Those who are doing self-pay are responsible for the cost of therapy. Each therapist sets their own self-pay rate, and, if they have one, sliding scale.

Payment can be made by credit card through the "Client Portal," which offers secure, HIPAA compliant transactions. This can be used for self-pay, or any deductible or copay that you might owe, depending on your insurance coverage. The portal offers an auto-pay feature if you choose to use it, and automatically sends invoices the day after the session, or after insurance requests your copay/deductible.

*I can also accept cash or check. Please refer to the "Contact Me" page if you have questions about payment or reimbursement.
