Insurance

If you plan to use your medical insurance, please bring your health insurance card with you so that David can make a copy of it.

David recommends that you call the member services phone number on the front of your insurance card and confirm that seeing David is a covered service under your plan. At that time you can also ask whether you need a referral from your doctor, and confirm what your co-pay will be.

If you do need a referral, simply call your primary care doctor’s office and ask them to call in the referral to your insurance company. You will need to tell your doctor’s office that you want to see David Schwab, LCSW-R. Locally, Preferred Care generally requires a physician referral, Blue Cross & Blue Shield, generally do not require a physician referral.

Payment for all services is due on the day of the service. David accepts personal checks or cash.
