Like many other mental health providers, Therapist has formal relationships only with some managed health care providers. These are Blue Shield of California, Magellan, and Managed Health Network. Therapist does accept referrals only from these managed health care providers and will otherwise only be accepting private pay clients. The reasons for this include the overwhelming administrative time spent in dealing with insurance companies and financial concerns. This means private pay clients are expected to pay full fee at the time services are rendered while managed health care clients are expected to pay their co-‐pay. A private pay client may wish to submit statements to their insurance companies, since some will provide limited reimbursement for “off-‐plan providers.” If Patient submits a xxxx for reimbursement, Patient needs to make it clear that the Patient/Member is to be reimbursed, not the provider. Again, Patients are expected to pay for services at the time services are rendered. Therapist accepts cash, checks, and major credit cardscash only.

Like many other mental health providers, Therapist has formal relationships only with some managed health care providers. These are Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Health Net, Magellan Behavioral Health, and Managed Health Network. Therapist does accept referrals only from these managed health care providers and will otherwise only be accepting private pay clients. The reasons for this include the overwhelming administrative time spent in dealing with insurance companies and financial concerns. This means private pay clients are expected to pay full fee at the time services are rendered while managed health care clients are expected to pay their co-‐pay. A private pay client may wish to submit statements to their insurance companies, since some will provide limited reimbursement for “off-‐plan providers.” If Patient submits a bill for reimbursement, Patient needs to make it clear that the Patient/Member is to be reimbursed, not the provider. Again, Patients are expected to pay for services at the time services are rendered. Therapist accepts cash, checks, and major select credit cards.
