Out-of-Network Benefits I do not work with insurances, however, you may be able to use your insurance for services. Some insurances provides out-of-network benefits. This means you submit a request to your insurance provider for all or partial reimbursement. In this case, you will pay the session fee at the time of service, and I will provide you with a receipt that you submit to your provider. Please check with your insurance provider first to determine of out-of-network benefits are available to you.
