Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can leave a confidential voicemail at (415) 889-8831. I check my
voicemail several times a day on weekdays and at least once per day
on the weekends and holidays. I try to return calls within 24 hours.
If you prefer, you can also contact me by email by clicking

cfilanosky@yahoo.com. Note: the
security and prompt delivery of email cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, please do not include sensitive clinical
information in emails and never use email in an emergency.
At what
times do you offer appointments?
I offer mostly evening appointments though daytime
evaluations may be arranged with advanced notice. The
immediate availability of openings varies. Please contact me so we can find a mutually
convenient time to meet.
Where is your
office located?
I'm conveniently located in downtown San Francisco at 833 Market
Street, Suite 809. Powell Street BART station is steps from
the building. Plenty of parking is available in nearby garages.
I am also available to make "housecalls" and can travel throughout the state of California.
Will health insurance cover the cost?
I no longer participate on insurance panels. However, you should know that
many health insurance plans will reimburse the insured individual
for some portion if not all "out-of-network" outpatient
psychotherapy fees or neuropsychological assessment though this
varies greatly by carrier. I will provide you with a
statement/receipt ("superbill" in health insurance parlance) so that you may submit a
claim if you choose. To determine the extent of your
particular coverage, please read your health insurance benefits
information carefully and call the benefits department of your
company and or insurer directly.
