As an out-of-network provider, I may be able to provide you with a superbill for you to submit for potential reimbursement by your insurance company. I am unable to submit superbills for Medicare, Medi-Cal, and most HMO insurances. Reimbursement rates vary but can help offset the cost of therapy. Find out more about OON benefits and insurance.
I keep a certain number of slots available for each rate range until they are filled. Reduced and Low fee rates are revisited every 6 months. Reach out and indicate what rate fits you best. If you need a spot that is currently full I am committed to helping you connect to other resources that may fit your needs.
