Fees for Services
Below are the full fees for services provided at The (K)Now Clinic. These are the private fee-for-service rates. Some of these services may be reimbursable through your medical insurance coverage. The (K)Now Clinic is in-network* for psychotherapy (and limited psychological assessment) for most Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Blue Shield of California plans. Dr. Gustman is currently in-network for Optum (United Health Care, Oscar, & Oxford, etc.) and Aetna insurance plans through a contract with Alma.
​

​
Service Fees (by service time) & Average Total Costs
Fees for services are current as of February 2024. The "Average Total Cost" is to support potential and current clients as they make decisions about their care; the costs for some services may be higher if a client wants to work on different therapy goals at different points, or if an assessment is particularly time-intensive. You will be asked about any significant changes to your estimate before the additional service is provided.
​
Evening (at or after 5pm) or Sunday appointments with Dr. Gustman are generally fee-for-service (private pay only); clients who have insurance may opt to waive their in-network benefits for these appointment times, and they may be able to submit their payments for out-of-network reimbursement to their insurance plan.
