I am willing to offer a sliding scale fee under financial hardship. I accept payment via cash, check, debit or credit card, HSA or FSA card at the end of each session.
Insurance
I am considered an "out-of-network" provider for PPO insurance plans, however, I can provide a monthly statement with appropriate details for you to request reimbursement from your insurance carrier. Usually, you can reimburse 50%-80% of the cost. Most of my clients with United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, or other insurance companies have successfully been reimbursed in the past.
Please call the member services phone number on your insurance card and ask:
What is my deductible when I see an out-of-network behavioral health provider?
Once that deductible is met, what percentage does my insurance reimburse for out-of-network therapy sessions?
How many visits am I allowed per calendar year?
Does my benefit vary if it is individual therapy versus family/couple therapy?
I have also enrolled in Reimbursify to make submitting claims to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement much easier. You can download the app to use Reimbursify here.
Online Therapy
Busy with your work and life? We can still work together!
Many of us have packed schedules, and then end up leaving self-care the last. You don’t have to do that!
The good news is research shows video counseling to be just as effective as in-person counseling.
I offer video/phone sessions (using a HIPAA compliant telehealth service), so we can meet with each other at a more ideal time for you, no matter where in California you’re located.
Good Faith Estimate Information
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
