  • Please note we have the ability to convert to an online therapy session (telehealth) should you feel ill and not able to come into the office.

Direct-Billing and Billing Statements

  • We can direct bill your insurance provider for you. Learn more about this below under Health Care Reform Act.

  • There are certain plans we may be able to direct-bill, including SAG/AFTRA, Motion Picture Health and Welfare, United Healthcare PPO, CIGNA PPO, AETNA PPO, Optum PPO, Writer's Guild or Anthem Blue Cross PPO.

  • If we are not set up to direct bill your insurance, as a courtesy we prepare and email billing statements at the end of the month that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

Health Care Reform Act

  • Please note that due to Health Care Reform Act requirements, when you file an insurance claim, it may result in a "diagnosis" being attached to your medical record permanently. Additionally, insurance usually only reimburses for "mental health" diagnoses, such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. In addition, an insurance plan administrator may make a decision whether to make payments based on a maximum number of visits and if he/she determines the therapy is "necessary.” For these reasons, many clients prefer to not submit bills to their insurance for possible reimbursement.

No Surprises Act: Good Faith Estimate

  • Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

  • Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
