Question 1

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

I operate primarily as a private-pay practice, which means I don't bill insurance directly for sessions booked with me. However, I can provide a superbill (a detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.I also partner with a company called Coral Care, which allows me to accept the following insurance plans for in-home sessions in Bergen County, NJ:Independence Blue Cross (IBX) – NJCurative Health PlanHorizon Blue Cross Blue Shield – NJ
If you'd like to use one of these plans, you can reach out to me directly with any questions first and to verify location and availability.  To set up insurance-covered sessions, Coral Care will need to be the one to verify your coverage and handle intake — you can reach them at hello@joincoralcare.com or (617) 463-9342, and just let them know you'd like to work with me, Jessica Brody, as your provider.

Question 7

Does my child need an evaluation?

Yes — an evaluation gives us a clear picture of your child's current abilities and needs, which is essential for building an effective, individualized plan with the right goals. If a recent evaluation has already been completed, we may be able to use that information instead of starting over.
