Fees and Insurance

When it comes to insurance coverage for any therapy it's important to understand that insurance companies require a diagnosable mental health condition on file to establish the medical necessity for therapy services. In order to have therapy sessions covered, a mental health diagnosis will need to be provided to the insurance company if one is present. For sex and relationship therapy there are some diagnoses that may be applicable, which will be assessed for in the initial session.

If you want to use your insurance coverage, it's important to understand that health insurance companies require not only a diagnosable condition but also regular documentation of medical necessity, which includes progress notes from therapy sessions.

In some instances, insurance companies may conduct audits to review these notes and ensure that the treatment is aligned with the diagnosed condition and continues to meet medical necessity criteria.

These audits may include reviewing progress notes from each session, so it's important to be aware that any diagnosis and treatment information shared with your insurance plan could be subject to such reviews.

If you are concerned about privacy and do not want to use your health insurance, there are options to pay for therapy out-of-pocket, and I can discuss sliding scale or payment plan options with you as well.

I strive to maintain your privacy and confidentiality, ensuring that your experience in therapy remains both professional and secure. If you have any questions about insurance coverage or the information that will be shared with your insurer, feel free to reach out, and I will be happy to provide further clarification.
