My fee for an initial intake appointment of approximately 70 minutes is $185. My fee for a standard session of approximately 55 minutes is $135. I accept payment by cash, check, or credit card (Visa/MC only). I reserve a few spaces in my practice for patients who cannot afford my full fee.

I am a preferred (in-network) provider for Premera Blue Cross, Regence Blue Shield, Aetna, Lifewise Health Plan of Washington, Uniform Medical Plan, and Medicare. If you have a different insurance plan, you will be responsible for payment of my full fee at the time of service; however, I can submit insurance claims on your behalf. You may be partially reimbursed for my services, but I cannot guarantee this. Here are questions that I recommend you ask your insurance provider before coming to see me for your first visit:

• Do I have coverage for "outpatient mental health"?
• Does my coverage require preapproval or a referral from my primary care physician?
• How many sessions do I have per year?
• What is my deductible and co-pay?
• What percentage of my psychotherapy fees are covered?
• Do my benefits cover only in-network providers, or do I also have out-of-network benefits?
• Are services provided by Scott Renschler, Psy.D. (or whomever you are interested in seeing) covered by my plan? (Your insurance carrier may ask you for the therapist's credentials. I am a licensed psychologist).
