Insurance

We currently only accept Kaiser Insurance.
In order for Kaiser Insurance coverage to apply, a referral and authorization from Kaiser is needed prior to scheduling. If you have a copay or deductible, you are responsible to pay those fees to our office. For adults requesting an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessment, please contact Kaiser Mental Health in Roseville. For children requesting an ASD assessment, please request a referral from your Kaiser Primary Care Physician be sent to Kaiser Autism Clinic in Rancho Cordova.
For all other insurances, Bridges Of The Mind Psychological Services, Inc. is considered an “out of network” provider.

This means that some of our clients pay our fee up-front and then receive reimbursement from their insurance provider in accordance with their out-of-network insurance benefits.
If you are interested in seeing if your insurance company offers this, call them to ask if your specific policy reimburses for out-of-network services, and what deductible you must reach before reimbursement is offered. If they do offer this and you would like to utilize out-of-network benefits, you will pay us the full fee, and we’ll provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company to receive reimbursement directly from them.

*Payments are due on the date your services are rendered and the patient is always responsible for any charges incurred that are rejected or not covered by your insurance plan. It is imperative for you to know the details of your insurance plan, prior to your visit, including any applicable deductibles. Knowing the details of your plan is your responsibility.

  • “I am so thankful to have found Bridges of the Mind at a time when everything seemed so difficult. Our doctor was understanding and was able to develop a good rapport with my child. I couldn’t imagine waiting months for a school district assessment at such a crucial time. The cost was worth every dollar! For the first time in months I feel like we have direction.”
