Office & Site Requirements (In-Person Services) To support insurance billing, clinicians must have access to a consistent, private location for in-person sessions. This can be a commercial office or a fully enclosed home office, provided it meets the criteria below.

Your space should

• Be a private, fully enclosed room suitable for confidential therapy (not a shared or open setting) Be a consistent, dedicated location (not a rotating or ad hoc space) Have a verifiable physical address for credentialing - must be based in Oregon Meet HIPAA privacy and safety standards
• As part of onboarding and credentialing, you may be asked to: Complete a brief virtual walkthrough or provide photos of the space Provide documentation (e.g., lease, ownership, or permission to use the space) Confirm professional liability insurance covering in-person services at this location
• Additional note: ADA accessibility is preferred where applicable

Important

Both the clinician and the office location must be credentialed with insurance payers prior to seeing clients. Most clinicians find their current space already meets these requirements or only needs minor adjustments.
