Fees & Insurance

Fees
Please contact me to discuss payment for services. This will depend on the
type of service, how long a session you would like, and whether you have or
intend to use health insurance. Typical individual and couples therapy
sessions last 45 minutes. Longer sessions are available and often preferred.

Payment
Fees or insurance co-payments are payable by cash, check, Visa, or
Mastercard
at the time of service, unless other arrangements are made.
Under special circumstances, I can establish a billing schedule. To ensure
your full session time, I ask that you pay at the start of each session.

Insurance
The insurance or managed care plans I accept include:

AETNA
AMHN (American Mental Health Network)
■ BHS (Behavioral Health Systems)
■ Blue Shield
■ CorpHealth
■ Humana
■ Medicare (but not MediCal)
■ MHN (Managed Health Network)
■ Multiplan
■ PHCS (Private Healthcare Systems)
■ Tri-Care/Tri-West
■ EAPs (employee assistance programs)
■ Other pre-arranged managed care payment plans

I will submit appropriate paperwork for reimbursement in these cases. You are
responsible for co-payments and deductibles.

If you are attempting to have your health insurance reimburse you for part or
all of my services, I will be glad to give you an appropriate form to submit.  
Please note that your insurance contract is between you and your insurance
company and the fee remains your responsibility if for any reason services are
not covered. Also note that insurance companies vary widely in their policies
regarding reimbursement for psychological services and my services may not
be covered. I strongly recommend that you call your insurance company and
use this
checklist (PDF file) to determine your mental health benefits.

I reserve the right to suggest a private pay agreement instead of insurance
reimbursement if your insurance company’s terms require excessive amounts
of my time for obtaining pre-certifications or filling out paperwork.
Use this checklist (PDF* file)
when you call your
insurance company
