Appointments are scheduled during regular business hours, [9 to 5] Monday through Friday. Dr. Schroeder personally schedules all appointments; a brief phone consultation will help her clarify the client's needs. If she is unable to assist personally, Dr. Schroeder is happy to offer recommendations for referrals.
The fee for an extended consultation is $400; this includes an initial screening phone call, pre-appointment review of your Women's Health Questionnaire (WHQ) and laboratory results, a two-hour face-to-to face appointment, and brief follow-up phone calls with your referring medical/mental health providers.
Charges for services provided outside the initial consultation (including written reports and extended telephone calls or e-mails) or shorter appointments are billed at $200 an hour, or $50 for each 15-minute increment. Fees are payable by check or cash only at the time of your appointment. Credit cards are not accepted.
Dr. Schroeder is not under contract with any insurance companies, nor is she a Medicare or MediCal provider. If you would like to seek reimbursement from your insurance company, the necessary paperwork can be provided. Please be aware that a diagnostic code is required to process your claim, and that this requires a disclosure of confidential information.
Please download, print, and complete PDF files 1, 2, and 3 below. Return them - by U.S. mail - to my office address (1005 40th Street, Sacramento, CA 95819) so that they arrive at least five days before your scheduled appointment. Dr. Schroeder will review these before your consultation. The time and energy you will put into completing the WHQ is greatly appreciated; the more time you spend in preparing for your appointment, the more time there will be to address your concerns as completely as possible. You may also want to make copies of the "Authorization to Release Information" form if you would like Dr. Schroeder to communicate with your current medical/mental health providers.
