What Payment Options do your services have?

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEW PATIENTS - 2024: We are now accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS).

All patients are responsible to verify their coverage and plan with their insurance, and pay out-pocket, at the time of service, ANY remaining difference NOT covered by their insurance (Co-Payments, Co-Insurance, and Deductibles vary).

If the Private Pay / Out-of-pocket option is preferred, in many cases patients can still apply for reimbursement of psychological services with provided documentation. Our clinic will be happy to provide “superbills,” which are detailed invoices outlining the services a patient received. Full payment will be expected at time of service.

Disclaimer: We want to protect your privacy, and value the essential beauty, worth and importance you have as a person. In practice, insurance requires disclosure of psychological diagnosis, which becomes part of your medical records. Not only this might be detrimental for negative labeling and self-identification, but could compromise the therapeutic success and progress.

While we offer and are supportive of full diagnostic evaluations and testing, insurance companies also require doctors reveal symptoms, behaviors, and treatment plans. This confidential information can be potentially damaging if hacked.

Furthermore, insurance might deny a patient partial or full access to psychotherapy through paperwork, reimbursements, re-authorizations for treatment, etc. We are committed to provide open, fair, and supportive access to healthcare to all people, where nobody can be rejected on the basis of an insurance review.

Note on NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS: A complete Neuropsychological assessment typically involve: 2-to-3 hours of clinical interview, 4-6 hours of testing, 2-3 hours of scoring and analysis, 4 hours of report writing, and 1-2 hours of feedback with patients and/or their families. On national US average, a neuropsychological evaluation requires approximately 16 hours of time (i.e., including clinical interviews, data and info collection, standardized formal testing, analysis, consultation, report writing, and feedback, when applicable). Please check with your insurance provider your coverage and plan.
