Insurance
At this time, I am in network with United Healthcare. This includes Optum, UMR, Oxford and other plans. If you are not sure if you are in network, I am happy to call on your behalf if you provide me the front and back of your insurance card.
I am also an out of network provider. If you do not have the above insurance plans, don’t run yet. Your insurance will likely offer some out of network coverage. In order to check, call your insurance company and ask about your out of network coverage for outpatient behavioral healthcare services (they sometimes also call it ‘mental health’). They will inform you if you have a percentage of coverage. Let’s say they cover 70%. This means you would pay me $155 up front. I would then provide you with a superbill or invoice that you would submit to your insurance company. Once processed, your insurance company would send you a check for $108.50. So after being reimbursed, you would be paying $46.50 per session.
Sliding scale available upon request.
Telehealth
Day by Day Counseling, like many other practices, is a fully virtual practice. This means that sessions are held through video conferencing via Google Meet. Telehealth allows for personalized therapy services, but offers flexibility, easier access to services, as well as convenience for those who wish to utilize it.
Due to licensing laws, as a client, you must be in either NJ or NY at the time of your session. If you are anywhere other than your home address, you are expected to inform the therapist for your safety.
Cancellation
Once the counseling service is offered, a special time is set aside for you. It is extremely important that you keep your appointment. Not only do missed appointments prevent others from receiving counseling, but it can also interrupt the progress you are working on.
However, life happens, so cancelations happen. We ask that if you need to cancel or reschedule, that you do your best to do so greater than 24 hours before your session. If not, you will be charged for the missed session, and if using your insurance benefits, insurance companies will not reimburse for missed appointments.
Payment
My fee per 50 minute session is $155. Day by Day Counseling utilizes an app called IVY PAY: IVY Pay is a HIPAA-secure, PCI-protected payment service that allows you to pay your therapist by saving a credit, debit, HSA or FSA card on-file. Once you've added your card to Ivy Pay once, charges can be quickly and easily processed. IVY PY uses advanced security systems and data encryption to protect both clients and therapists, as well as safeguard against unauthorized transactions and access to personal or financial information. Information is encrypted, stored and protected on secure servers. Industry standard SSL encryption is active on every page of the Ivy Pay system. This is the same encryption technology used by banks and brokerages to safeguard financial information.
Payment is due at the time of session and IVY Pay will always inform you when your card on file has been charged.
