Superbills are available upon request for patients seeking potential out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance carrier. A superbill is an itemized receipt containing the clinical information your insurer may require — including diagnosis codes, procedure codes, and provider credentials.

Many California insurance plans include out-of-network mental health benefits. We encourage you to contact your carrier to ask about your out-of-network coverage and reimbursement rates prior to your first appointment.

Mental health services are generally eligible for payment using Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). Please confirm eligibility with your plan administrator.

California law requires many health plans to cover telehealth services at parity with in-person care. Contact your insurance carrier to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.
