Direct Care and Concierge Psychology
Welcome to the Branches Psychology
What Is Direct Care?
Direct Care is our direct payment model. It actually prioritizes the original tradition of doctor-patient relationships, before the rise of managed care in the 1980s and 1990s. It allows individuals to get their needs met more easily without the long wait, layered restraints, and regulation checklists that insurance companies require. It emphasizes discretion, confidentiality, and greater flexibility. We believe this is desirable, and this is why more people are seeking direct care with a doctor of their choosing. Additionally, people can also use their insurance by letting us provide you with a “superbill,” a type of billing document for your direct reimbursement by the insurance company.
What is Concierge Psychology?
Concierge Psychology is our bespoke service model. We prefer enhanced doctor-patient relationships that provide patients with convenience, personalization, and immediacy. Because of the limited clientele, your psychologist can practice in highly individualized treatment. This approach to treatment tends to generate results and greater patient satisfaction because you can access service when it is most effective for you. A customized fee, monthly or other, allow you to be worry-free about charges whenever you need your doctor. Concierge Care is preferred by people who want an accessible relationship with their psychologist, unhurried attention as their needs arise, and integrated care.
