Before your first session, call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask: “Do I have outpatient mental health benefits?” and “Is Douglas Carmody, LCSW — NPI 1992698476 — in-network with my plan?” If they can’t find me directly, ask whether providers billing through Headway, Alma, or Tava are covered — my billing runs through one of those, depending on your plan. Paying privately instead? I’m happy to provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Sliding Scale Available
I reserve a limited number of sliding-scale spots for clients who demonstrate financial need. Please mention this when you reach out — I believe cost should not be the deciding factor in accessing mental health care.
