Appointments & Fees.

My standard fee for service is $200.00 per 55 minute individual session and $250 per 55 min couples session. I accept cash, check, credit card, cash app, or Apple Pay, and you will be expected to pay for each session at the time it is held. When paying with cash, please be advised that I do not keep change and when paying with check, please make checks payable to:  Nayantara Rodrigues.  Please be advised that there will be a $25 service charge for any checks returned by your banking institution.

I do not accept insurance, however I can create what is called a "Super Bill" for you, at the end of each month, which details the necessary information for you to submit to your insurance company.  Please check with your provider to discuss if this is an acceptable form of billing.  If you choose this option, you are required to pay me my full fee at the time of service and your insurance company/companies will then issue a reimbursement check to you/the policy holder.  Please be advised that your insurance company may not reimburse for outpatient psychotherapy from a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working in private practice, for a therapist considered "Out of Network", or for certain diagnoses or goals of therapy. Please advise me at the beginning of our sessions together if this is an option you choose to utilize.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.
