Some insurance companies may reimburse for my services (PPO and POS). While others, such as (HMO's), may require you to choose someone on their contracted provider list.
Please contact your
insurance carrier for your coverages, co-pay's, annual deductible's, etc.
Note: Your insurance card may usually have your plan's name, member
ID number, and insurance contact phone numbers. You may visit your
carrier's online website to obtain additional information, including
a list of providers and services, etc.
In addition, you may wish to check with your carrier to see if your plan will
cover individual or family psychotherapy with a "California Licensed
Marriage
and Family Therapist" who is not on their provider panel and/or who
may be considered an out-of-network provider.

Payment Method:
I request payment by check to be mailed to me at the end of each
session, unless we have both agreed on some other method of
reimbursement. I am happy to prepare a statement (which will require
me to provide a diagnosis code) for you to submit to your insurance
company. Basic decisions about your care, such as the number of
sessions, are decided by health plans. I may be required to discuss
your confidential information with insurance workers for
“authorizaton” to see you. By not using health plans, I can preserve
your confidentiality as fully as the law allows. Then treatment
decisions can be made by you and I alone.
