FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT MY HEALTH INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE?
I am considered an "out-of-network provider." This means my professional services qualify for reimbursement under most insurance plans.
While I do not participate directly with any insurance company, many plans allow you to apply for reimbursement using the billing statements ("superbill") I give you each month. With your written permission, I can also provide your insurance company with any additional information about me needed to process your claim.
To learn how much your unique insurance plan will reimburse you for an appointment with an out-of network provider, please call the phone number on the back of your insurance card and ask how much will be covered for psychotherapy sessions.
​
It is a good idea to find out what your unique plan's deductible is, and if you have yet met it this year. Regardless of whether you meet with an in-network or out-of-network provider, you will be paying your deductible out of pocket until that amount is reached. All of this information will help you understand what out of pocket costs you can expect.
Finally, this is a reminder that if you are self-employed, your superbills can be saved and used towards itemized healthcare deductions in the next tax year.
DO YOU ACCEPT HSA PLANS?
Yes, when you enroll in a Health Savings Account, you will receive a debit card. You can use that card directly to pay for services.
WHERE DO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
All sessions take place online, through a HIPAA-compliant video platform, except for the medicine sessions within the Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy protocol. I am licensed to work with clients residing anywhere in the state of CA.
