Insurance

I understand that insurance can be a major consideration for many clients. That’s why I strive to make the process as straightforward as possible.

  • Like most private practices in New York City, Holistic Psychotherapy & Wellness Manhattan is an out-of-network provider. That means I don’t accept your insurance directly.

  • Unlike many other practices, I can verify your coverage before beginning sessions to ensure you understand your insurance benefits.

  • I also submit claims to your insurance company on your behalf. This makes your insurance reimbursement submissions simpler.

  • In our experience, most of our clients receive back between 60% to 80%, some even 100%, of the cost of their sessions, after their deductible is met.

Reimbursement

PAYMENT
You will still have to pay for sessions prior to when you receive your insurance reimbursement check. Payment is due at the end of each session. Holistic Psychotherapy & Wellness Manhattan accepts all major credit cards as well as HSA/FSA cards.

SUBMISSION
The moment your credit card is charged, I submit your session claim directly to your insurance provider.

REIMBURSEMENT
Your insurance carrier will process your claim, just like they would for a medical claim. Once your out-of-network deductible is met, you will begin receiving reimbursement checks from your insurance provider.

Getting started…

Step 1

Make an Initial Consultation appointment through the SimplePractice secure client portal button on the page above. If you would like more privacy and would prefer NOT to be added to the practice system, we can conduct sessions by telephone. Many clients prefer this option. You can also text to schedule at 212-529-8292.

The secure scheduling system is set up to take credit/debit cards. You will need to enter this form of payment into the system to reserve an appointment time. If you are not using insurance, or have out-of-network coverage, sessions are paid for via credit card after each session. Making an appointment means you have accepted your obligation to attend your initial appointment. If you do not attend the scheduled time, you will be responsible for the session fee and charged that day of service.

*If you have In-Network insurance in Montana, we will process your claim for you, and you will owe the co-pay.

Step 2

Receive practice information so that we can get started. After you schedule your time, You will receive the usual intake forms via email to be completed prior to your first session. These forms originate from the SimplePractice practice management system. Please complete these forms prior to our meeting, which includes a brief intake, practice information and insurance information.

Step 3

This practice is currently working via Telehealth using a HIPPA-compliant platform called SimplePractice which is easy to use for both of us. We can also meet using Zoom, FaceTime or the platform of your choice  Check your mail for a Session Link. For your first session, you will need a smartphone, tablet or computer with stable wifi and privacy. You may download the app iOS/android, but you can also use any browser with just your link without the Telehealth app.
