FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do work with various insurance companies: Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Cigna, and Aetna. I also will bill for out of network services for UPMC Health Plan, if your plan has out of network benefits. For those who do not have these plans, I do have out of pocket rates listed on my website. At this time, I do not offer a sliding scale rate.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Clients request to make an appointment for counseling. I discuss with them their goals/reasons for counseling to ensure that I am a good fit for their specific needs. If this is the case, we proceed with paperwork and setting up a first appointment. If it is not, I have several therapists that I refer to frequently.
