New Clients/Intake Packet & Insurance
Welcome. Thank you for taking the time to read the following. These procedures are very typical for entering psychotherapy. I look forward to meeting you. Important note: I only take PPO insurances and attempt to get reimbursement for my clients, otherwise it is cash pay.
In order to make a first time appointment it is best to completely fill out the intake paperwork by clicking the ‘Intake Packet’ link (below) and email it to me at thomas@thomascarver.com.
Additionally, it is important that you bring me a copy or text/email me a picture of your insurance card (front and back). I highly recommend sending it to me before the first session. Be sure to write your name (and any other family member who will be in therapy) and date of birth (for each person) below the card image. This will be sent to my billing service who will analyze your benefits and provide an estimate as to your reimbursement rate (PPO).
I have a waiting list, but I am very good at getting people in quickly. By texting/emailing me the information above as well as the intake packet (below) it assures you a spot in the waiting list so that you can enter my schedule rotation as soon as possible. Anybody in a crisis is seen right away and the schedule is worked out later.
My billing service will check your benefits and submit all paperwork to your PPO. However, you are ultimately responsible for being aware of your own benefits as well.
