Insurance benefits vary by company and type of policy.
    Please contact your insurance company for information about
    your specific coverage details. When you contact your
    insurance company, let them know that you are inquiring
    about "outpatient mental health" benefits. Dr. Bolton suggests
    that you ask your insurance company several questions before
    scheduling an appointment, such as:

Does my coverage require that I get a pre-authorization
before I schedule an appointment?

How many outpatient sessions per year am I covered for?

How much is my deductible? Does it apply for these types of
services? If so, how much of my deductible have I met so far
this year?

What is my co-payment or co-insurance per session?             
(A co-payment is a set dollar amount whereas a co-
insurance is a  percent of the fee or contracted rate).

Is Dr. Jonina Bolton an in-network provider for my insurance
company?

Do I have any "out-of-network" benefits? (In case you want
to receive services from Dr. Bolton in the event that she is
not an in-network provider for your insurance company.)

    for the following insurance companies and
    networks:

    Insurance companies often merge with other
    companies. As a result, the names of the
    insurance companies and their lists of
    participating providers frequently change.
    If you do not see your insurance company on
    the list, please look in your online provider
    directory or call your member services line   
    to inquire about whether Dr. Bolton is an in-
    network provider with your insurance company.

    Fees   
    Dr. Bolton accepts both self-pay and insurance-pay clients. If you are utilizing insurance benefits, then you are responsible for paying
    your deductible, if  applicable, as well as any co-payments or coinsurance determined by your specific policy. If you are self-pay, you
    are responsible for paying the full fee for services.

    Payment Options
    Most individuals would like the benefit of working with their therapist for as long as is needed to accomplish their personal  goals. The
    reality is that the manner in which you pay for your treatment may affect the confidentiality and extent of care that you receive. If you
    pay all the fees for your services (self-pay), then you and Dr. Bolton will determine the type of services that will benefit you the most
    and the length of time that you will remain in treatment.  If you utilize insurance benefits, then your insurance company will require
    Dr. Bolton to submit a diagnosis and description of treatment services and may exercise a considerable amount of control over the
    type of services that you receive, as well as the number of treatment sessions that will be covered. Some insurance companies also
    reserve the right to inspect client records.
         As the result of the issues described above, many people decide that the direct payment (self-pay) option, without the involvement
    of an insurance company, is best suited for their needs. The self-pay option allows for a higher degree of confidentiality while providing
    greater flexibility and autonomy in designing a treatment program most suited to your needs. If you decide to use your insurance
    benefits, please review the information below on Using Your Insurance.

    Payment Methods
    Payment is due at the time services are rendered. Dr. Bolton accepts cash and personal checks.  Credit cards and debit cards are not
    accepted.
