What to Expect
What happens on the consultation call?
Nikki offers a 15 minute consultation call at no charge so that you can tell her more about what you are looking for and ask any questions you may have. Nikki will describe the treatment that she generally offers.
What does the first session look like?
The first session involves a comprehensive assessment, scheduled for up to 90 minutes to allow time to review personal and clinical history, administer assessment measures, and provide treatment recommendations. Nikki will determine whether or not she is the appropriate provider for your needs and you will decide whether or not Nikki is a good fit for what you are looking. If Nikki determines she is not able to meet your needs or you decide Nikki is not the right fit, she will offer referrals to other mental health professionals.
For individuals under 18 years of age, the first session will include the individual as well as the parents or caregivers.
How often do we meet?
Sessions are generally once a week for 45 minutes, either in person or via video conference. For individuals experiencing more severe symptoms, Nikki offers twice weekly sessions.
How much does it cost?
Nikki is an out-of-network provider and does not accept insurance directly. The cost of therapy may be partially reimbursable by your insurance company after meeting your deductible. The best way to find out about reimbursement is to contact your insurance company to inquire about their reimbursement rate for out of network providers and their process for submitting. Reimbursify is an app that helps to simplify the submission of out of network claims.
For each session, you will be provided with a billing statement that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. Nikki will discuss fees during the initial consultation call.
No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
