Payment and Fees
Billing will be processed through Mountain Counseling Associates. You may access patient account information and pay bills online here.
A 90-minute Comprehensive Clinical Intake session is $175. A 55-minute individual counseling session is $125. A sliding scale fee may be available for those who are uninsured. I encourage you to discuss any financial needs or issues during our initial phone consultation.
Payment is expected at time of service. I will accept insurance; however, clients have the responsibility for copays and any balance not covered by their insurance policy. I am currently in-network with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Medcost, Cigna/Evernorth, United and Optum insurance. I offer a limited amount of sliding scale fees for uninsured clients. I also accept cash, check, and credit cards.

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
