Do you accept insurance?

Summit Psychology is an out-of-network provider with most PPO insurance plans. Payment is made after each session and then you can choose whether you want to submit an insurance-ready claim to your insurance carrier for reimbursement. Reimbursement rates vary across plans, but typically after meeting your deductible insurance covers 40-70% of the session cost.

If I want to call my insurance in advance, what do you recommend I ask them?

Summit Psychology is committed to helping you understand your coverage so that you feel comfortable making the financial commitment to therapy. Helpful questions to ask include:

• Does my plan include out-of-network coverage for mental health?

• How many sessions per year does my plan cover?

• What is my out-of-network deductible for mental health? And what portion of that deductible have I met this year?

• What is your usual rate for a 50-minute individual psychotherapy session (CPT Code: 90837) for a licensed clinical psychologist in Los Angeles?

• What percentage of a session with an out-of-network provider do you cover?

• Is approval required from my primary care physician?
