Schedule
Subject to change, depending on the number of Associates who are active: Biweekly triad meeting with your supervisor and one other associate, with group supervision on alternating weeks. If you need more than one unit of supervision per week, that may be provided either through group supervision or an additional triad.
Referrals
- We are paneled with several insurance companies, but referrals that come from these sources are not guaranteed and should not be treated as a substitute for private-pay clients.
- Building to a minimum private-pay caseload is required.
- This practice is currently paneled with:
- Aetna
- Aetna EAP
- Optum EAP
- United Healthcare/Optum
- Kaiser/Carealon
- Kaiser Northern California Health Plan
- Partnership Medi-Cal Plan
- Care Connect EAP
- California (FFS) Medi- Cal
You will be automatically credentialed with these companies through the practice and can accept referrals through them, as well as build your own private-pay client base.
Please note: The practice works hard at developing referral relationships and sending referrals to our Associates. However, the ethos of the position is that it is a private practice incubator, in which we support Associate's clinical and marketing skills to optimize their success of their private-pay practice upon licensure. Associates are ultimately responsible for building their own caseloads and we cannot guarantee a minimum number of referrals through the practice. We provide a marketing guide and tailored coaching to help with the process of building your business.
Supervision Structure
Subject to change, depending on the number of Associates who are active: Biweekly triad meeting with your supervisor and one other associate, with group supervision on alternating weeks. If you need more than one unit of supervision per week, that may be provided either through group supervision or an additional triad.
