Inspired Life Counseling is not a preferred provider on any private or employment insurance panels.
This means your insurance considers Inspired Life Counseling and the licensed therapists who provide services as "out of network."
The associate clinical social workers are in-network for managed medi-cal insurance plans. If you have California Health & Wellness or Anthem Blue Cross Medi-Cal, please feel free to schedule an appointment with any ASW or AMFT and they will be able to bill your insurance.

COURTESY BILLING:
This is billing your insurance provider as an out-of-network therapist.
Ask me if I've gotten set up for your particular insurance provider when you reach out for a session. Lately, insurance companies want out-of-network providers to submit an I-9 and various other forms before they will cover sessions with them as out-of-network. I'm currently registered with Anthem Blue Cross PPO, Adventist Health, and Blue Shield. If you have another PPO, then I don't mind applying to be able to bill, but it's a good idea to get it started as soon as possible, preferrably before your first session.
In the meantime, see below:
Helpful tips:
Before you come to your first session, call your insurance provider and ask if you have out of network benefits for psychotherapy.
- Ask them if you have a maximum number of visits,
- and if you need to meet your deductible in order to be reimbursed for services.
- Ask what your deductible is and how much you have left to pay.
- Lastly, ask the percentage you're responsible for.
For example: We have many clients who have a $500 deductible and their insurance won't kick in to help pay for sessions until they've first met their $500. That means they will pay the full rate for several sessions before getting any benefit from their insurance policy. Many insurance policies reimburse between 60-80% of the rate.
Clients then have a choice of obtaining a Super Bill from us (a type of receipt that also has various insurance codes on it) and turning that into their insurance company - or depending on the insurance company, I can electronically submit the session to your insurance. If we submit your claim on your behalf, other than meeting your deductible, the rest of the therapy relationship feels like you're using your insurance like you would at any other medical office. You pay your portion at each session and we send claims in for the rest.

-------------------------------
Therapists at Inspired Life Counseling like to give clients "their spot," so each week on the same day and time they know they have their session. It makes it easier for our client to schedule regular time off work, plan childcare, or just keep their social lives and calendar predictable. This also makes it easier to tell any potential clients what openings are available so they can decide if that spot fits into their own schedule before meeting with their preferred therapist, and then having to find someone else with more flexibility or different openings. Our online calendar is set to only allow you to book up to 10 days from today. Days with open spots are highlighted. If nothing is highlighted, that means the clinician is fully booked.
If the person you hope to work with is fully booked, please feel free to call or text our office at (530) 809-1702. The therapist may have a client who is finishing up and their spot will be available soon, but it's not reflected on their online calendar.
This is a confidential number, so you can send a text and on our end it is still confidential (although texting on your end might not be as discreet and if we reply your side of the text is your responsibilty to maintain). For maximum confidentiality, I suggest calling and leaving me a voice message. Another way to reach out to set an appointment is through email: info@inspiredlifechico.com.
Return calls policy:
We have hired an administrative assistant! If you call the office line, you can speak to her directly from 8:00 am - Noon, Mon-Thurs.
(530) 809-1702
If you contact your therapist directly:
We try to return contact as soon as possible, but it can sometimes take a couple of days. This is because our first priority is to our existing clients. It often happens that clinicians offer their office hour to a client for a make-up session or a second session when something big has happened in their lives. We're suckers for helping people, but then the time set aside to make phone calls gets pushed back farther. Once you're an existing client, if you need to confer, change appointments, etc you have priority - you are the first contacted during an office hour.
So if you're waiting to set up an appointment to work with one of us, please remember "the squeeky wheel gets greased." We realize it's not the best business model for new folks, but once you're set up in the practice as a client you really reap the benefit of that unusual policy! We truly give our clients our full attention and priority.
