Cost
Therapy is an investment of time, effort, and money. Let's make it worth it.
Session Length and Fees
Sessions at Bedrock Therapy run from 45 minutes up to around 55 minutes. If sessions run short, price will remain the same.
Each session is typically done once per week and costs $150. I am unfortunately unable to provide discounts and do not accept prepayments for sessions.
Missing a session will cost the typical session rate of $150. Sessions can be cancelled or rescheduled at no cost with at least 24 hours’ notice.
Payment Method
Sessions can be paid in cash or with a credit card. Even if you plan to pay with cash, I will keep a credit card on file for convenience.
Insurance is not accepted at Bedrock Therapy, but I can provide a superbill for you to provide to your insurance company for out-of-network consideration. I cannot guarantee that your insurance will reimburse you. It is up to you to contact your insurance company and verify that they will accept a superbill from me and will reimburse you, and it is up to you to ensure the reimbursement rate is acceptable to you.
Why don't you accept insurance?
There are two main reasons I do not accept insurance. Both of them limit the flexibility and freedom that the most effective therapy requires, so not involving insurance means that you are able to receive better care and see better results more quickly.
The first, and biggest, reason is because insurance sets arbitrary and often unhelpful standards for therapy. They can stop coverage for an issue if they think you are better or have been in therapy too long, even if you are not done. They may not even cover something to begin with if you do not have a particular diagnosis. To enforce these standards, they can request your treatment records and see anything about it, which means that you do not have the same level of confidentiality as you would without them.
The second reason is related. Insurance companies promise to cover certain therapist, but coverage can stop at any time. We could be working together when your insurance company decides not to cover my services anymore, forcing you to see someone else if you wanted to continue therapy. That interrupts dynamics, makes you have to build trust with someone new again, and at worst could mean not improving anymore.
Your right to a Good Faith Estimate
Because I do not accept insurance, you have a right to a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act. Within a short time of scheduling, I will provide you a GFE outlining a range of anticipated costs of therapy during the next year, should you feel a need to be in therapy that long. You also have a right to request a copy of the GFE for up to six years.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your current GFE, not including unexpected expenses, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your GFE!
