New Patients
I am currently accepting new patients. Before scheduling your first appointment, please call 925-378-3944 and feel free to leave a message on my secure voicemail. You can also email me at DrRupaZimmermann@gmail.com to set up a complimentary 20 minute initial phone consultation. If I do not currently have an appointment time that is convenient for you, I will provide you with referrals. I do not keep a waitlist.
Fees
Services are provided on a fee-for-service basis. Rates range from $200-250, depending on type of service and duration. Please contact for more specifics on fees and with any questions.
Sliding Scale
A sliding scale based on household income may be considered. There are limited spots that are reserved for sliding scale fees, and I will work with you to find a way for therapy to be financially sustainable. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Insurance
I am considered an out-of-network provider and do not directly bill insurance for treatment. Your insurance company may cover a percentage of my services as an out-of-network provider, and I am happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Please contact your insurance provider directly prior to beginning treatment to find out what reimbursement will look like for my services. Payment is due at the time of service.
No Surprises Act / Good Faith Estimate Notice
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
- For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 368-1019
