Yes, I accept insurance through Alma. I am credentialed with several providers, including Aetna, Cigna and Optum. Alma can assist you in verifying your eligibility for services and will handle payment collection on your behalf.

As an out-of-network provider, you are responsible for the full cost of your session. However, you may be eligible to apply for reimbursement from your health plan for a portion of the session cost. I will provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

I recommend checking with your insurance company to verify if you have out-of-network benefits before our first session. This can help you understand your coverage and potential reimbursement options.

My private pay rate for sessions is $175. A credit card must be kept on file regardless of your preferred payment method. I will provide you with a receipt for potential insurance reimbursement.

I accept both credit cards and cash. Please note that a credit card must be kept on file, regardless of your chosen payment method.

Sessions are conducted virtually and are 45 minutes. It’s important that virtual sessions take place in private, confidential locations to ensure your comfort and privacy.

You will be responsible for the full cost of the session for any missed appointments or late cancellations. To avoid this charge, please cancel sessions at least 24 hours in advance. Please note that the late cancellation or missed session fee will not be covered by your insurance company.

I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation prior to our first session. To schedule, please email me at sarathealcsw@gmail.com or fill out the inquiry form on the website. During this call, we will also arrange a 60-minute intake session.
