Questions

Cost & coverage FAQ

How do I know if my plan covers sessions?

Call the member-services number on your card and ask about outpatient mental health benefits with an LCSW, or reach out and Sarah will verify benefits before your first session.

What will I owe per session?

That depends on your plan: some have a flat copay, others apply a deductible and coinsurance. Sarah will give you an estimate once benefits are verified.

Do you accept HUSKY?

Yes, HUSKY Health / Connecticut Medicaid is accepted for standard sessions.

Why are intensives not covered by insurance?

Insurance reimburses standard-length psychotherapy sessions. Extended multi-hour formats fall outside those codes, so intensives are a private-pay service.

Do you offer a Good Faith Estimate?

Yes. Under the No Surprises Act, private-pay clients are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs before starting care. Just ask.
