About half my clients pay for services out-of-pocket and half use insurance. Insurance only covers services related to diagnosable mental health conditions. My rate is $150/meeting.

Out-of-network:

I can also bill out-of-network benefits for all insurance companies, including Cigna. IF your plan includes out-of-network benefits, they’ll reimburse you. This method has worked for many clients over many years. However, you’re responsible to check your out-of-network benefits (my National Provider ID number is 1174891154). I can easily submit claims to them.

I reserve three meetings a week for reduced-rate clients. Please notify me if you’re self-pay and unable to pay my full rate. I usually have a longer waiting list for these meetings. For another reduced rate option with likely immediate openings, you may contact UMKC Community Counseling and Assessment Services
