PROFESSIONAL FEES

Dr. Danda is considered an out-of-network provider and does not submit to insurance. Professional fees vary according to the service provided and are based on factors such as regional psychotherapy rates and experience. Rates are subject to change on a yearly basis. 

In compliance with the No Surprises Act that went into effect January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers are required to notify clients of their Federal rights and protections against “surprise billing.” Healthcare providers are required to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. This Good Faith Estimate outlines the CPT codes and professional fees for each service so you know what to expect. Dr. Danda will collaborate with you throughout your treatment to determine how many sessions and/or services you may need to receive the greatest benefit based on your diagnosis(es)/presenting clinical concerns. In-office vs. telehealth charges are identical.
