Questions

Here is a list of commonly asked questions with their answers.  If any of the answers are unclear or your question varies from one listed below, please feel free to contact me.

INSURANCE

Q:

What insurance companies do you accept?

A:

Because I am licensed in the state of NC, I am qualified to perform counseling services by the majority of insurance companies.

I am on the following insurance panels:
 - BCBS (I am a "Preferred Provider" with BCBS for PPO policies (excluding the Marketplace policies for Blue Local or Blue Value due to being a closed panel)
 - PHCS (Private Healthcare Systems)
 - United Healthcare
 - United Behavioral Health (UBH)
 - Aetna
 - CIGNA
 - Medcost Preferred
 - CBA / Carolina Behavioral Alliance

       
PAYMENT

Q:

What are your rates?

A:

(A) Initial Evaluation session $120
(B) Regular Counseling session $110

**Please note: Because I am a contracted provider on many insurance panels, you may only be required to pay a copay (please contact your insurance company and inquire about your mental health benefits). I will file the claims and wait for insurance reimbursement, therefore lowering your out-of-pocket expenses. Also, new clients can download and print the "Patient Information Sheet" from the "My First Visit" tab and bring it with you (along with your insurance card) for the first visit.

Q: How is payment collected? A: Check, cash, and Credit/Debit Cards, as well as HSA Cards
       
APPOINTMENTS

Q:

What if I need to cancel an appointment?

A:

I respectfully request a 24-hour notice if canceling an appointment. Many times, I have last minute requests for an appointment and I can offer it to others in need. I do understand that there are unavoidable emergencies and I will take it into consideration. However, there will be a $50 charge for cancellations without a 24-hour notice and for "No Shows".
