Yes, at my office in the Bankers Hill neighborhood in San Diego.

Yes! I see people living anywhere in the State of California using a secure video connection.

Yes, I am “in-network” with three plans.

Additionally, I can also bill almost any PPO-type policy.

I'm “in-network” with Original Medicare, also known as Traditional Medicare. Many people add a Medigap policy to help cover costs not paid by Medicare. I accept all Medigap policies, provided that Medicare is your primary insurance. After you meet your small annual deductible, if you have a Medigap policy, you are usually fully covered for services with no out-of-pocket costs.

Please note, I do not accept any Medicare Part C plans, which are often called 'Medicare Advantage plans.” You may be able to use your Part C plan (Advantage Plan) with me if it is a PPO-style plan, and not an HMO. You would need to check with your insurance provider to determine your coverage if you have a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan.

I'm also “in-network” and work directly with both Aetna and Optum/UnitedHealthcare.‍ ‍With Aetna and Optum/UnitedHealthcare, you usually pay only a small copay once your yearly deductible has been met (if your plan has a deductible).

Additionally, I can submit a bill on your behalf to most PPO insurance companies, allowing you to be reimbursed by your insurance for a portion of your session cost. Most people receive between $50 and $150 back after meeting their deductible (if any). I am happy to help you understand your insurance coverage.

I am an out-of-network provider for all other insurance plans, but many plans allow reimbursement if you have coverage. Most PPO plans are designed to offer that reimbursement.

To simplify the process, I have partnered with Thrizer, an expert team that will handle all your paperwork efficiently! They specialize in maximizing your reimbursement from nearly any PPO plan.

I will discuss all the details during our first phone call!

For most PPO plans, you’ll find that your plan often covers a portion of the fee once you meet the deductible (if any).
