Insurance and Fees
Our services are often covered in part by insurance, HOWEVER…
As a premium low-volume practice, we are not contracted with any insurance company. If you have out-of network benefits (PPO), you may be able to use your benefits as partial payment for services here. We can assist in determining what level of benefit you have. Of course, we can not guarantee any information given us by the insurance company.
If you are asking this office to file insurance claims, please understand that we have no control over who at the insurance company will see the paperwork or what database will contain your private information. Using your insurance likely requires a mental disorder diagnosis which may limit future insurance options, employment opportunities, public office etc. We use an outside billing company which normally bills claims electronically.
If you do choose to file insurance, it is faster and simpler for you to file on own behalf. Usually you can do so on the company's website. We can assist with properly filled out receipts.
Yes, you may be able to go to an in network provider for small co-pays. We believe there is value in seeing a psychologist that you chose on factors often beyond insurance plan participation. Our fees are comparable to other out-of network psychologist specialists in this area. Our family of families do not often choose us because we have the lowest fees. Families choose us based upon reputation and professional quality.
The Value Proposition
In these difficult financial times, we feel it is important to stress that this practice has ALWAYS been devoted to providing the best value in the services we provide.
We strive to provide value in TOTAL DOLLARS INVESTED. Cognitive Behavior Therapy methods have been shown to be cost-effective and efficient. We believe that the addition of significant experience and specialization adds significant value for the dollar spent. Drs. Bauman and Nudelman provide concrete tools and strategies for use by our patients, parents, and teachers, so that most treatment actually takes place in real life. Therefor, in many cases, the total number of office visits may be far less than required with traditional psychotherapy.
