FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Scheduling
I offer in-person sessions in Mar Vista (between Venice & Culver City) and telehealth for people residing in California. I see clients Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday between 10am-7pm by appointment. I invite you to reach out for time availability at hello@meaganbtherapy.com.
Who i work with
Individual adults aged 18 and above. I do not practice couples, family or child therapy.
​
SESSION FEe
I offer a free 20 minute consultation via Zoom or by phone. Consultations are a chance for us to speak briefly, and we can decide if we are a good fit. After that, the session fee is $225 per 50-minute session. Payment is due at the time of session.
​
SESSION Frequency
Sessions typically take place weekly. Therapy is a commitment and a continued practice that involves learning, growth, and building new ways of doing things. Similar to exercise, the emotional 'muscles' take time and consistency to strengthen.
​
Cancellation
Sessions cancelled less than 48 hours in advance will be charged at full rate.
INSURANCE
I do not accept insurance. I am an out of network provider. Superbills can be provided for submission to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. If you plan to seek reimbursement I recommend contacting your insurance company to fully understand what your coverage is for out-of-network providers and to understand the process.
​
Here are some questions to ask your insurance about their rate for reimbursement:
-
-
Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
-
Does my insurance plan provide reimbursement for out-of-network outpatient mental health services? If so, how much/what percentage does my plan reimburse for?
-
Does my plan cover telehealth sessions?
-
What is my deductible and has it been met?
-
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
-
What is the coverage amount per therapy session for an out-of-network provider?
-
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
-
How do I submit claim forms (superbill) for reimbursement?
-
Please Note:
If your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits for services and you decide you would like Superbills for submission to insurance it is important to know:
--Insurance companies require Superbills to have a DSM-5 diagnosis, which becomes part of your medical records.
--Insurance companies have the right to request and view confidential session notes to determine coverage.
