Rates and Insurance
Kelly's standard fee is $150 per 45-50 minute session, though she offers a broad range of sliding scale fees (based on income) in cases of financial hardship. She will always try to work with you financially and treatment-wise, if possible.
Regarding insurance, Kelly is currently in-network with CIGNA and Blue Shield/Magellan. (Blue Shield is carved out to Magellan in most, but not all, cases in CA). Kelly is considered an out-of-network provider with all other insurance companies. She will be happy to provide you with a Superbill (or receipt) if you are using out-of-network benefits. Many insurance plans will often use these SuperBills to reimburse you for a certain percentage of your mental health fees. You will need to check with your specific plan to determine their participation.
In cases where an agreeable financial arrangement cannot be worked out, Kelly will do her best to refer you to other therapists in the area, so that you can find someone who can help you to meet your treatment needs and goals.
Insurance
Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan, and sessions are often determined by "medical necessity" (this will be also be explained more in your first session, if there is need). Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
- Do I have mental health benefits?
- What is my mental health deductible and has it been met?
- How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
- How does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Reduced Fee
Reduced fee services are also available on a limited basis.
