Frequently Asked Questions
Are your services covered by insurance plans?
Unfortunately, insurance plans do not cover our services. However, many of the therapies and medical treatments that we recommend are covered. Diane is neither an M.D., a psychologist or a therapist, therefore, unable to give a diagnosis code for insurance purposes. We require that our fees be paid on time and in full even if insurance claims are being submitted or an MSA (Medical Savings Account) is being used.
