To find out your insurance benefits, the best way is to call the number on the back of your card and ask these questions:

2. What is the copay or coinsurance for outpatient mental health visits?
3. Is there a limit on how many sessions are covered per year? If so, how many?
4. Are the CPT codes 90791 and 90837 covered?
5. Are virtual video visits covered?
6. Do I need a referral for mental health services?

Yes, I charge $170 for an intake and $170 for a session.

If you use insurance, your insurance provider sets this rate. I have no control over it. Please contact your insurance provider for this information. For cash/private pay, I charge $170 for an intake and $170 for a session.

Yes, $75 dollars will be charged via GLPG if you do not show up for a scheduled appointment (*within 10 minutes of start time) or cancel an appointment with less than 48 hours’ notice. However, if you reschedule into any of my available slots within the same week of the no-show or late cancellation, I will lower the fee to $25. These charges cannot be billed to insurance and must be paid before the next scheduled appointment.

GLPG manages billing. After each session, you’ll receive an email regarding your bill. If you’d like, you can also keep a card on file for convenience. For any billing questions, please reach out to GLPG directly at 248-385-3847.
