*Coverage with Blue Shield of California and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield varies by plan — some are managed through delegated medical groups or IPAs. Eligibility and in-network status are always verified before your first appointment. If your plan is not listed, we can still work with you out-of-network and provide superbills for reimbursement.

How PPO reimbursement works

A simple, three-step path.

  1. 01

    Pay for sessions directly.

    You pay your agreed fee at the time of each session. No claims to file up front.

  2. 02

    Receive a monthly superbill.

    Each month we send a superbill — an itemized receipt with the diagnostic and billing codes your insurer needs.

  3. 03

    Submit and get reimbursed.

    Upload the superbill through your insurance portal. Reimbursement typically arrives in 2–4 weeks and lands directly in your account.

Behind the scenes

Booking, notes, and billing — handled with care.

Bay Door runs on Tuned, a HIPAA-secure collaborative-care platform built for depth-oriented clinics. Intake, scheduling, records, and superbills all live in one calm workspace — so your clinician can stay focused on the work.

Common questions

Good to know.

Do you take my insurance directly?

We are in-network with Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum/UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna/Evernorth. For all other plans, we operate out-of-network and provide a monthly superbill so you can seek reimbursement — usually 50–80% depending on your plan.

What if I have a lower budget?

Ask about our associate program during your consultation. Lower-fee sessions with supervised associate clinicians are available for those who need a more accessible fee.

Is a consultation call free?

Yes. Every clinician offers a free introductory consultation so you can feel out the fit before committing.

How is payment collected?

A card on file is charged securely through Tuned after each session. Receipts and superbills arrive by email.

Let's talk about what fits.

A short consultation clarifies fees, insurance, and the right clinician — no pressure.
