Insurance

I am currently an in-network provider for the following insurance plans:

• BlueCross/Blue Shield
• MHN/Health Net
• PacificSource
• Reliant Behavioral Health EAP
• AETNA
• Providence
• Optum
• United Behavioral Health

I’m also able to bill many insurance plans as an out-of-network provider.  When using out-of-network benefits, you are responsible for the full fee at the time of your appointment, then you will be reimbursed by your insurance company for the percentage of the fee covered by your plan.

Before our first appointment together, please call  your insurance coverage  and have the following questions answered:

Do I have mental health benefits?

Do I have a deductible and how much, if any, has been met?

How many sessions per calendar year are covered?

Is pre-authorization required?

Authorization  number:

What is my co-pay or co-insurance responsibility?

How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
