Psychotherapy
sessions are scheduled on an ongoing weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly
basis for the duration of 50 minutes or 90 minutes as agreed.
All regularly scheduled sessions are your financial
responsibility. Payment
is due at the time services are rendered, and is accepted in the
form of cash, checks, debit cards, and most credit cards.
My
rates are modest, within the average range for the type of services
I provide, and depend on the specific service received. Fees for
testing and evaluations are determined after the first session by
the type of testing required. Attending the first session to discuss
testing does not obligate you for the completion of testing or for
fees beyond the first session.
I
accept a number of insurance plans. However, it is your responsibility to
contact your insurance provider to determine if I am a member of
your plan. If I am a member of your insurance plan, your insurance
co-pay and/or any deductible will be due at the time of service. If
I am not a member of your insurance plan, your insurance will likely
pay a percentage of the fee at an “out of network” rate.
In that case, you are responsible for any amount that your
insurance company does not cover.
However, I make every effort to assist clients with third
party reimbursements.
Although
I accept a number of insurance plans, many individuals chose not to
use their insurance, and instead pay out of pocket for therapy
services to avoid the releasing of sensitive and confidential
information to their insurance company, which is frequently a
requirement of insurance companies.
Most often, this decision is due to concerns about privacy or
protected health information.
My
cancellation policy requires a 24 hour notice to cancel a scheduled appointment.
If
you miss your scheduled appointment without notifying my office at
least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay a late
cancellation or no show fee. This fee is usually a percentage of the
cost of the treatment.
