Fees and FAQs
Let’s talk logistics!
At ParityWell, we offer both 45-minute (90834) and 60-minute (90837) sessions according to what feels most supportive. Our rates range from $200-$260 for 50-minute sessions and $250-$310 for 60-minute sessions, depending on the therapist.
A lower rate doesn’t indicate that a therapist is any less skilled or experienced. All therapists at ParityWell come to us with multiple years of postgraduate experience and engage in ongoing lifelong training to be up to date with the newest evidence-based mental health and addiction practices. Our client care coordinator Nicolette Swaby, BS, has a background in mental health and will also ensure there is always a strong fit between you and your therapist depending on your preferences and needs.

FAQs

ParityWell is unique in that we offer both testing and therapy. We offer evidence-based therapy for adults navigating anxiety, relationship troubles, PTSD and complex trauma, and late-supported autism, ADHD, AuDHD, and OCD. We also frequently work with clients with a history of co-occurring disordered eating or addictive behavior. Neurodevelopmental testing is available for those seeking clarity around possible neurodevelopmental differences like autism or ADHD. This process is comphrensive, including cognitive testing and is conducted by a doctoral level provider. All our clinicians use only evidence-based modalities matched to your needs, goals and cognitive style so therapy is effective for you.

We specialize in working with adults who may have co-occurring neurodevelopmental differences like ADHD alongside mental health conditions. We also work with clients who may not have found therapy to be as effective in the past and are seeking a specialist. For testing we are focus on evaluations for clients who may be high-masking or may not meet stereotypical presentations due to gender identity, race, and/or co-occurring giftedness or strong compensatory strategies. Sometimes, one condition, such as OCD or ADHD, can eclipse or mimic another condition, such as autism. We specialize in comprehensive adult evaluations that identify overlapping and mimicking neurodevelopmental differences as well as co-occurring mental health conditions.

We’re an out-of-network practice meaning ParityWell does not work with insurance directly. However, we will support you in checking and understanding any in-network or employer benefits you may have and will provide you with a superbill to submit for any reimbursement you may be owed.

Both. We’re in person in Midtown Manhattan right next to Columbus Circle and across the street from Central Park. We also serve clients teleremotely throughout New York, New Jersey and Pennslvania.

This is really up to you and your therapist. Many of our clients begin with weekly sessions, but it really depends on your goals and what your preferences are. Some of our clients seek us out for short-term goal-oriented therapy. We don’t believe therapy needs to be a long-term process for everyone. Each person’s needs and circumstances differ.

You are charged at the time of service via our secure electronic health record system, called Simple Practice. You can use any major credit card, debit card, or upload an HSA or FSA card. Your card is stored securely and each month you will receive documentation (called a “superbill”) for your records. You can submit to insurance if you are eligible for out-of-network reimbursement.
Insurance & Reimbursement
Like most specialized NYC based practices, we are out of network and do not work directly with insurance. However, some of our clients receive reimbursement for therapy and neurodevelopmental testing through employer benefits including out of network insurance reimbursement. Dealing with the logistics of insurance when you may also most need mental health support can be tough so that’s why we are here to help you understand your insurance benefits and explain the process. Our Client Care Coordinator, Nicolette Swaby, is ready to help you check your benefits and match you with the right support.
Why Choose Out-of-Network Care?
It may seem counterintuitive, but out-of-network care has it’s advantages. Many specialist practices are out of network as it allows us to focus on your needs, not insurance company restrictions.
Specialized expertise: Advanced training in adult autism, ADHD, AuDHD, and co-occurring mental health conditions, including complex and previously overlooked presentations.
Individualized treatment: Care tailored to your goals rather than insurance-imposed session limits or treatment requirements.
Comprehensive evaluations: Thorough diagnostic assessments that go beyond checklists to understand your unique cognitive, emotional, and developmental profile.
Greater flexibility: More freedom to determine the most appropriate assessment and treatment approach for you.
Our goal is to provide the depth, expertise, and individualized attention you deserve.
How Insurance Reimbursement Works
If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement.
1. Pay for Your Appointment
Payment is due at the time of service. We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and eligible FSA/HSA cards. Evaluations require a deposit to reserve your appointments.
2. Receive Your Superbill
We provide monthly superbills (detailed receipts with the billing information your insurer needs).
3. Submit Your Claim
Submit your superbill through your insurance portal (we can show you how when the time comes).
4. Get Reimbursed
Once your out-of-network deductible is met, your insurance may reimburse a percentage of its allowed amount (the fee your insurer recognizes for the service).
For example: If your appointment costs $200, your insurer's allowed amount is $160, and your plan reimburses 80%, you would receive $128 back, leaving you with an out-of-pocket cost of $72.
Actual reimbursement depends on your plan and is not guaranteed.
What Should I Know About My Benefits?
Before beginning care, it's helpful to understand:
Deductible: What you pay before reimbursement begins.
Coinsurance: The percentage your insurer covers after your deductible.
Allowed amount: The maximum fee your insurer recognizes for a service.
Covered services: Whether your plan covers psychotherapy and autism/ADHD evaluations, including specific testing codes.
Please note: Insurance coverage for neurodevelopmental evaluations varies. Some plans cover diagnostic interviews but limit or exclude certain testing services. We can provide billing codes in advance to help you verify coverage.
A Note About Diagnosis Codes
Insurance reimbursement generally requires a mental health diagnosis code. Your clinician will determine the appropriate diagnosis based on your assessment, never solely for reimbursement purposes.
Submitting claims shares diagnostic information with your insurer, which may have implications for future life, disability, or long-term care insurance applications. We're happy to discuss any concerns before you submit a claim.
