Insurance
I am an in-network provider for Christus Health Plans, United Healthcare. I have submitted applications for provider status with a few other insurance companies, so be sure to ask.
I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas and in South Carolina. If you live in Texas, we would need to meet virtually. If you live in South Carolina, we may meet in person or virtually.
Depending on your current health insurance company or employee benefit plan, it may be possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your insurance plan to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.
I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
- Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
- Does my plan include telethealth (virtual) visits?
- Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
- Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
- Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
- Does my plan include out of network benefits if my provider is not in-network? What is the coverage?
For clients in South Carolina, I am also able to take Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, Anthem EAP-Bank of America, and Quest Behavioral Health through a separate contracted entity called “Headway.” Contact Vickie Purdy directly for more information.
Payment
I accept cash, checks and all major credit cards as forms of payment. I also accept payment via PayPal and you can pay directly on my site on this page.
It is also possible to pay by credit card/HSA while in a virtual session on Doxy.me via Stripe.
