 FAQs

  • At this time, Lotus Counseling Services PLLC is in network with Aetna, United/Optum, and Sentara commercial plans. I am still in the credentialing process Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield.

  • I bill directly with the insurance plans listed above. For those not listed, I am covered as an out-of-network provider by many insurance plans. For out-of-network services, session fees are paid by the client at the time of session, but I can provide a receipt (“superbill”) that clients may use to seek reimbursement for services from their insurance provider.

  • There are some benefits for those who opt not to use insurance. These benefits include: services not requiring a mental health diagnosis, a greater selection of therapists, more flexibility in the length of treatment or session times, as well as increased privacy and confidentiality.

    Couples in particular may want to consider opting to self-pay if their primary concerns are not rooted in a mental health concern as, otherwise, one member of the couple will have to be designated as the identified patient and be assigned a diagnosis in order to bill insurance for the services.

  • Unfortunately, I am unable to offer sliding-scale fees at this time.

  • If you are using your insurance, you are encouraged to contact your insurance company to ensure coverage. Some questions that would be good to ask would be if you have mental health coverage, what your deductible is, how many sessions would be covered, and what coverage is available for in-network and out-of-network providers.

    ​

  • If you need to cancel an appointment, please give at least 24 hours notice. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. Late cancellations and no-shows will be subject to a charge of the full cost of the missed session. I allow for one “free” missed session to new clients. After that, the late cancel/no-show charge may be waived on a case-by-case basis if we agree that the late cancellation or lack of notice was unavoidable. You can cancel appointments by email, phone/voicemail, or in the client portal where you can cancel or send a message.

Good Faith Estimate :

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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
