Help with Insurance

If you request, I can provide you with standard forms you can submit so you can receive at least some reimbursement if you have PPO health insurance with out-of-network benefits.  There are pros and cons to doing this, which we can discuss when we talk.

There are many benefits to just hiring me privately and leaving the “Big Brother” aspects of the insurance industry out of our work entirely.  I can also provide you with receipts so you can deduct the cost of sessions with me from your taxes as either a medical expense or a business consultation expense (subject to IRS limitations; see your tax accountant for details).
