For Expert Commentary and Medical Case Review Consultations:

**Of note, please be mindful that medical consultations DO NOT include patient care, evaluations, or any medical assessments or treatment. Medical case review consultations also DO NOT involve the formation of any physician-patient relationship.  


Dr. WCM can, as a part of expert commentary or medical case review consultation advise on typical presentations of disorders (not for a specific individual); advise on resources usually available and utilized to manage certain mental health-related issues; advise on the standard of care and options for managing specific mental health conditions/psychiatric issues (again, not for a specific patient); discuss historical information about treatment options, understandings of mental Illness and psycho-social issues that impact mental health; Provide reports giving assessments of the consult question;  Provide referrals to the types of professionals you may need to contact to further address your consult question or mental health-related issue.

No. We ensure that those clients that have joined the WCM Sports psych family will never have to wait longer for their own precious appointments due to waiting for someone who may have gotten cold feet about making that leap towards their success. What we enjoy doing is providing a consultation request form, to assist our potential partners in identifying specifically in what areas we will help you or your project flourish before a consultation is scheduled.

For Patient Care:

NO. Why?

 

With our practice model, you won’t have your care limited by the number of times your insurance is willing to authorize or try to justify to them that you need help at all.

 

Not accepting insurance allows your psychiatrist or therapist to ensure that you two are a good fit for each-other and the services we have to offer, as opposed to our patients being “stuck” with whomever happens to be covered by their insurance.

Insurance only pays when an ICD-10 diagnosis code is provided. Sometimes, for your service to be covered, the diagnoses need be of moderate or severe gravity. Not everyone meets criteria for a more severe diagnosis, and those who do, sometimes prefer not to have that on their insurance record.


Not working directly with insurance companies allows your psychiatrist or therapist to spend more time helping you, instead of haggling with your insurance.

While we do not accept insurance, we can provide you with a superbill or invoice on request that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Also, though other services provided through WCM Sports psych accept multiple forms of payment, out of privacy considerations, we do NOT accept Venmo for payment of psychiatric or any other patient-related services. We do keep your active credit card information on file in our payment systems to facilitate your timely payment in a hassle-free way for you!
