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 marriage & family therapists and 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.

IF YOU DO PLAN TO USE YOUR PPO INSURANCE AS OUT-OF-NETWORK, READ THIS:
COURTESY BILLING:
This is billing your insurance provider as an out-of-network therapist.
Most PPO insurance companies will require their patient to meet an out-of-network deductible (for some clients it's as low as $250 and for others it's much more) before they start paying their share of your sessions.
Once you meet your deductible, most insurance carriers will pay 80% of their allowed amount (it's different for every insurance provider).
This means, that once you meet your deductible, we will only collect your share of what your insurance won't pay, then we will file a claim to your insurance and collect the difference. It feels a lot like it does when you're using your in-network benefits because we do all the legwork for you!
We call your insurance company or use their website to find out what your out-of-network benefits are (every plan is different), then we inform you what we learned (how much you have left of your deductible, what percentage they will pay, and what we expect that will be as a share of cost for you). We ask that you pay 3-4 sessions at our full rate while we wait for your EOB (explanation of benefits), BUT this can be negotiated once we talk to your insurance and advocate for you.
If you don't want to wait for us to do it for you and you want to take the bull by the horns, then please see these helpful tips:
Helpful tips:
Before you come to your first session, call your insurance provider and ask if you have out of network benefits for psychotherapy.
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 approximately 80% of the rate.
We will 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. Easy!

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 if you need to meet an out-of-network deductible in order to be reimbursed for services (some plans will waive the requirement to meet your deductible when it's for mental health services- you can tell them it's CPT codes 90791, 90837).
- Ask what your deductible is and how much you have left to pay.
- Lastly, ask the percentage you're financially responsible for when the session is 90837 (that's a regular, 53 min session).
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.

-------------------------------
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.
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 responsibility 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: [email protected].
Return calls policy:
We have hired a client care coordinator! If you call the office line, you can speak to her directly from 8:00 am - 2:00 pm, 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 the clients in the office. 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 squeaky 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.
