Experience Highlights
Insurance & Assessments
I work with various insurance providers and use standardized assessments to ensure you receive the appropriate care and coverage. These assessments help document the medical necessity of treatment for insurance purposes.
PHQ-9
Patient Health Questionnaire-9
A nine-item depression scale that helps clinicians assess the severity of depression and monitor treatment response.
Commonly used by healthcare providers to screen for clinical depression and determine the need for treatment. Insurance companies often require PHQ-9 scores to approve coverage for certain mental health services.
GAD-7
Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7
A seven-item anxiety scale used to screen for and measure the severity of generalized anxiety disorder.
This assessment helps identify anxiety disorders and determine appropriate treatment options. Many insurance providers request GAD-7 results to authorize anxiety-related treatment services.
MDQ
Mood Disorder Questionnaire
A screening instrument for bipolar disorder that helps identify individuals who may need a more thorough diagnostic evaluation.
The MDQ assists in identifying bipolar symptoms that might otherwise be misdiagnosed. Insurance plans often require this assessment before approving specialized treatments for mood disorders.
Insurance Coverage
I accept most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare. Prior to your first appointment, I recommend verifying your coverage for mental health services with your insurance provider.
If you have questions about whether your insurance will cover our sessions or if you need assistance navigating the insurance process, please don't hesitate to contact me.
