Investment in Therapy
At Women Thrive, we recognize that pursuing therapy, especially intensive therapy, is an investment in your own mental and emotional health, and has a trickle-down effect for those around you.
At this time, Women Thrive is not in-network with any insurance plans. This allows you to:
Work with a provider of your choice that specializes in what you want to work on.
Keep your private health information truly private.
Seek therapy services when you want to, rather than when you might be experiencing severe distress or crisis.
Have true autonomy over your mental healthcare, rather than having an insurance company decide how many sessions you should have, whether or not claims should be paid, how much the provider should be paid, or what types of therapy they will cover.
What are your rates for therapy services?
The following rates for therapy services are based on $200/hr.
60-minute session - $200
90-minute session for Initial Assessment/ADHD Assessment/EMDR therapy - $300
I also offer a limited number of sliding scale sessions through Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. Please visit https://openpathcollective.org/clinicians/lindsey-brown-mccormick/ to find out more about joining Open Path and if there are any available sliding scale spots.
What are your rates for Intensive EMDR packages?
EMDR Intensive therapy is my primary therapy offering. Intensive packages are customized to the individual needs of each client. Fees for Intensives are based on the following schedule:
90-minute Initial sessions & Closing sessions - $300
3-hour weekday Intensive sessions - $ 600
3-hour Intensive sessions on Saturday or Sunday - $900 ($300/hr)
Example Intensive package:
90-minute Initial session, 3-hr weekday Intensive session, 90-minute closing session - 5 total clinical hours (scheduled on 3 different days)
After your Intensive EMDR package has been built to your needs, you will receive a Good Faith Estimate outlining the details of your package. There is a 50% deposit due upon scheduling once required paperwork has been completed and applicable Releases of Information (ROIs) have been completed. The remaining balance of your Intensive package will be collected the first day we begin. Flexible payment options for Intensives are available!
I only schedule 1 weekend Intensive per month, for a maximum of 6 hours each day, with a 1 hour break for lunch.
If you are traveling for your Intensive, you are responsible for the costs accrued while doing so (lodging, meals, etc.).
Open Path pricing is not available for 3-hour Intensive sessions. However, we can structure a package at the Open Path pricing rate that is based on frequency (3 60-minute sessions during 1 week) rather than duration (multiple hours in 1 day).
What is included in the assessment process for ADHD?
The assessment procedure consists of multiple parts: a comprehensive clinical interview that occurs across two (2) 60-minute sessions, completion of assessment tools used to assist in clinical decision-making, scoring of these assessments, formal report writing, and a final session, about 30 minutes in length, to review results with you. The cost of this comprehensive process is a flat fee of $750.
Do you accept insurance?
Currently, Women Thrive is not in-network with any insurance plans. However, we can provide you with superbills for therapy sessions to submit for potential reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits with your plan. Please bear in mind that superbills require a clinical diagnosis on file. We accept all major credit cards and HSA/FSA debit cards. Payments can also be made using Afterpay or CashApp through Square, as well as Zelle. Autopay payments plans are also available. Ask Dr. McCormick for more information on flexible payment options.
What is your cancellation policy?
We request a 48-hour notice for an appointment cancellation; 72-hour notice for an Intensive cancellation. Failure to cancel within this time frame will result in a late cancellation fee equivalent to the cost of your scheduled session, collected immediately. The fee for Intensive late cancellations is the deposit. More specific information regarding cancellations can be found in Dr. McCormick’s Informed Consent documents upon scheduling.
Client Rights and Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of the expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. If you are eligible for a Good Faith Estimate, make sure your healthcare provider gives you one in writing at least one business day before you are to receive the medical service or item, unless your appointment is scheduled less than three days in advance. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill through the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. There is a fee to dispute bills.
Who is NOT affected by these “surprise billing” rules?
Clients whose insurance is not accepted by the facility at all, but who choose to schedule or receive non-emergency care and will be submitting a superbill to their insurance company for Out-Of-Network reimbursement.
Clients whose entire non-emergency visit is in-network, meaning the facility and treating providers participate in their insurance coverage.
What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)?
When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.
“Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that have not signed a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers, may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit.
“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you cannot control who is involved in your care—like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider.
You are never required to give up your protections from balance billing. You also are not required to get care out-of-network. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network.
