Insurance

I do not work with insurance companies for several reasons. The first is that they require me to give you a mental disorder diagnosis. Secondly, many insurance companies do not include coverage for family and couples therapy. The third reason is that I want you to be actively involved in determining what type of care you are receiving, with insurance, many of your choices and my treatment options are limited. The fourth and most important reason for my not taking insurance is that it severely jeopardizes your confidentiality. If I submit a bill to the insurance companies on your behalf, your confidential information is processed by the insurance company and then stored in a database. Anyone who is involved in the processing or handling of your claim may have access to your records and anyone who has a legitimate reason to access the medical database, such as insurance companies and future employers, can view your confidential records. For all of these reasons, I've decided that I would rather provide care to you at rates that are reduced and comparable to your insurance company's negotiated prices instead of accepting insurance directly.
