School — IEP and 504 ADVOCACY

Free Consult

20 min. I listen to your situation, name the next right step, and we both can decide whether or not, it’s a good fit.

Records Review + Plan‍ $400

I review records/evaluations and deliver a written red-flag summary and prioritized plan.

Full IEP Package $950

I review records, prep, and attend one IEP/504 meeting, with a follow-up letter.

Classroom Observation (add-on) — $300

Firsthand evidence the paperwork can't show — brought straight to the IEP table.
Up to 2 hours on-site plus a written summary for the IEP team. Beyond 2 hours or a second visit: $150/hr, agreed with you in advance.

Hourly — à la carte $150/hr

Extra letters, meetings, or phone advocacy outside a package.

Insurance Denial Appeals

Denial Triage $175

I will read the denial and plan docs, map the appeal path and deadlines.

Internal Appeal / Grievance $700

I will draft and assemble the full internal appeal with medical-necessity argument and evidence.

IMR / External Appeal $700

I will build the case and packet, then prepare and file the DMHC IMR (see the note below).

Appeal Bundle $1,300

Internal appeal and IMR/external handled end-to-end as one engagement.

A note on appeals: California's Independent Medical Review (IMR) is free to families — the health plan covers it, not you. You're paying me for the work that can win it — building your medical-necessity case and the full packet — not for the filing itself.

How Payment Works

Flat fees, quoted up front. You'll always know the full cost before any work begins.

How it's split. Records Review + Plan, Denial Triage, and Classroom Observation are paid in full when you book. Packages are split — 50% to reserve your spot, and 50% before your meeting or at filing.

No retainer. You pay for the package or the hours you choose, and nothing more.

Travel included. Up to 60 minutes round-trip for in-person Sacramento County meetings.

Priority scheduling. When your IEP meeting, hearing, or appeal deadline is inside 10 business days, the fee for your package increases by 50%. That reserves priority in my queue and means your file gets worked this week.
