RATES: Please contact me for current fees. Rates vary by service and session length and are consistent with those of California licensed clinical psychologists with advanced training. Fees are updated annually and payment is due at each session.

NO SHOWS AND CANCELLATIONS: Please provide at least 48 hours’ notice for any cancellation or change. Sessions cancelled with less notice may be charged in full.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE: If you do not have insurance coverage for your care or choose not to use it, you have the right to a written Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for non-emergency services. You may request an estimate before scheduling. An estimate will also be provided when you schedule care at least three business days in advance. To request a Good Faith Estimate, please contact me. Learn more about your rights under the No Surprises Act.

INSURANCE: I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. I provide a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. Eligibility and reimbursement depend on your plan, deductible, and insurer’s allowed amount and are not guaranteed. Please check your benefits before beginning treatment.

OUT-OF-NETWORK BENEFITS: See FAQs below for a step-by-step guide to checking your benefits. For more information, including the advantages of working with an out-of-network provider, visit: https://blog.zencare.co/guide-to-out-of-network-benefits/
