INSURANCE

I am an out-of-network provider with all insurance plans and do not bill insurance companies directly.

Upon request, I will provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Any reimbursement is determined solely by your insurance plan, and payment remains the patient's responsibility regardless of insurance coverage.

California law provides important protections to help patients access timely mental health care. In some circumstances, if your insurance plan cannot provide timely access to an in-network mental health provider, you may be eligible to receive care from an out-of-network provider at in-network cost-sharing. Eligibility depends on your specific health plan and circumstances.

You may wish to contact your insurance company to ask about your out-of-network benefits and whether you qualify for timely-access or network adequacy protections. Additional information is available through the California Department of Managed Health Care:
