Insurance & Payment​

​​​​

• Private Pay​​:  The benefit of private pay is increased privacy and flexibility in treatment as most all insurances require a diagnosis to cover treatment and can request records at any time to ensure medical necessity.

$225 for initial clinical assessment

$165 for 55 minute session​​​​

• Out of Network:  if I am out of network with your insurance you may be able to bill your insurance for reimbursement if you have out of network coverage.  We can discuss this further when you contact me for services so we can figure out what might work best for you.

• United Health Care

• Cigna

• Aetna

• Anthem Blue Cross of California

• Oscar Health

• Oxford

• Blue Shield of California

• Health Plan of San Joaquin

• Health Net

• CalViva

• Carelon (check with your specific plan)

​

If I am in network with your insurance plan, then I will bill your insurance directly and you will be responsible for co-payment, if any, due at the time of service.  When we arrange for your initial appointment, you will be emailed a link to my portal on Simple Practice to fill out initial paperwork so that I can gather some helpful information beforehand and we can avoid using up time from your initial session. At this time, you will be able to set up a personal profile and place your preferred billing method on file.  You will also be able to send me secured messages, request and cancel appointments (anything cancelled w/in less than 24hrs time will incur a fee up to the full cost of the session unless there are extenuating circumstances).
