Accepted Insurances
In-Network with the following insurance plans: • Optum / United Healthcare • Anthem Blue Cross • Blue Shield of California• Magellan / Blue Shield MHSA / BS MHSA • MHN / Healthnet• Aetna
For all other insurance plans, we are still considered "out of network".
Note: Some insurance plans may be able to reimburse you for costs associated with "out of network" providers. Please check with your health plan.
At patient request, we can provide a "Superbill" to assist with this reimbursement process.
Medicare Patients:
Our clinician Dr. George Tun is not a contracted Medicare provider and has "opted out" of Medicare.
However, Medicare patients may still be able to receive care and services from Dr. Tun by entering into a "Medicare Opt-Out Private Contract" and effectively paying out of pocket.
By completing and signing the "Medicare Opt-Out Private Contract," you will agree not to bill Medicare and you will agree not to ask Dr. Tun to bill Medicare for any services provided by Dr. Tun.
Despite the term "Private Contract," signing this contract will only apply to care here at Even Better Mood Clinic and will not in any way limit your ability or eligibility to receive covered Medicare services with other healthcare providers who have not "opted out" of Medicare."

In-Network Psychiatrist Insurance Rates
Insurance rates generally differ from patient to patient, depending on a number of factors. Some examples are:
1) whether provider is "in-network" or "out of network"
2) nature and complexity of service rendered
3) which insurance company/carrier
4) rules associated with specific health plan within a given company/carrier
5) patient deductible responsibility
6) patient co-insurance responsibility
7) yearly "out of pocket maximum"
8) patient copay
9) whether patient is past due on monthly premium payments
At the time of service, our clinic will verify your eligibility and collect any required copay/co-insurance payments upfront. Insurance plans are generally billed for remaining balances afterward.
If you have not met your deductible yet, you may be responsible for additional payment after your appointment as well. At subsequent appointments, until your deductible has been met, these payments will be collected upfront and will be pre-determined amounts (based on your specific health plan’s contracted rates with our clinic).
Acceptable forms of payment for insurance-related costs are cash, credit/debit card, personal check, and some forms of electronic payment such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Zelle, and Venmo.
Some portion of patient costs (such as copays) are due at the time of service. Remaining patient-responsible portions/balances may be billed at a later time, long after the appointment.
Telehealth (when applicable) is generally offered at no additional cost. However, when using health insurance, please check with your specific plan to verify telehealth coverage.
