“Brandon came across as super thorough but not in a hurry. He actually listened and put together a plan that made sense instead of the usual cookie-cutter approach. I got in same week.”

Common questions

Before you book.

Do you take my insurance?

We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, plus Curative in all five states and state-specific commercial plans (SelectHealth, SLHP, Mountain Health CO-OP, PacificSource, Aetna, Moda Health). In Arizona, BCBS plans are accepted through Headway (direct credentialing in progress); Nevada BCBS credentialing is also in progress. See the full insurance matrix → We do not accept Medicare or Medicaid. Self-pay is $400 intake / $200 follow-up.

How fast can I be seen?

Most new patients are scheduled within 7 days. Established patients can usually get a follow-up within 48 hours. After you submit a request, you’ll hear back within one business day.

Do you prescribe controlled medications?

Controlled medications may be considered only when clinically appropriate after a complete evaluation. Prescribing decisions follow applicable federal and state requirements, prescription-monitoring safeguards, and ongoing monitoring. We do not provide refill-only care without an intake.

Can I switch from another psychiatrist or NP?

Yes. Bring your current medication list and recent records to the intake. We do a full evaluation rather than a refill-only visit — expect 60 minutes, not 15.

What states do you cover?

Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona are active. You must be physically located in one of these states at the time of each visit. See state pages →

Will I be tested or screened?

For ADHD evaluations, we may use CNS Vital Signs — a 30-minute computerized cognitive battery — to add objective data to the diagnostic interview. More on CNSVS →

What happens after I book?

You’ll receive intake paperwork by email within minutes. Complete it before your visit. About 5 minutes before your scheduled time, you’ll get a secure video link. The first visit is 60 minutes.

Is this covered if I’m a veteran?

We are not VA Community Care contracted. Veterans may use commercial insurance or self-pay. The practice is veteran-owned and welcomes veterans alongside adults from all backgrounds.
