Scheduling

To schedule your initial session

If you plan on using Cigna, United Healthcare, Optum or Oscar insurance to pay for your session, then please email Ira@IraIsrael.com with your date of birth and a photo or pdf of the front of your insurance card.  After I verify your co-pay and deductible, I will email you back with that information and available times.

If you are not insured by Cigna, United Healthcare, Optum or Oscar, you will pay the out-of-network fee and then submit a monthly superbill to your health insurance company for reimbursement.  To reiterate, I am NOT in-network for Blue Shield, Anthem Blue Cross, Healthnet, Kaiser, Medical, Medicare, EAP or any other health insurance company aside from Cigna, United Healthcare, Optum or Oscar. Please call your health insurance company before we meet to ask what percentage they reimburse and what your deductible is regarding Out-of-Network mental health office visits billing code 90837.

For those who do not have Cigna, Optum, United or Oscar, in an effort to be fair I offer a sliding scale based on your or your family’s gross income as stated on the first page of the previous year’s tax return.  I charge .1% of your annual income per session with a floor of $300 and a ceiling of $600 per session (not per hour).  

I have a 48 hour cancellation policy.  Clients must pay if they miss an appointment or cancel within 48 hours.

Please email me at Ira@IraIsrael.com or call me at 310-430-5150 to schedule your appointment.

If you value time efficiency, please feel free to fill out 1. this Intake Form and 2. this Informed Consent Form prior to our meeting and email them back to me or print them out and hand them to me on the way into my office.

Coaching

If you are interested in scheduling an individual online coaching session, please fill out this coaching agreement – clearly explaining that coaching is completely unrelated to psychotherapy and counseling and I will only be teaching you the philosophy and tools from my workshops – and email the signed agreement to me at Ira@IraIsrael.com.  I will email you back potential coaching times.  I have found that coaching works best when clients take one of my online courses and/or read or listen to my books, and then schedule a session to ask specific questions about my philosophy and tools.  Fees for individual coaching begin at $500 per hour.

Thank you very much!
