Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your insurance carefully by asking the following questions:
- Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
- Is this therapist an in-network provider?
- What is my deductible and has it been met?
- Do I have a co-payment?
- How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Reduced Fee:
Reduced fee rates are available on a limited basis. Please contact me for further information regarding a reasonable and consistent arrangement that works for both of us.
Payment:
Cash, check and credit cards are accepted for payment. Payments are due at the end of each session. Cash payment method is preferred. If you are utilizing your insurance, you are expected to render your co-payment at the conclusion of each session. You will be billed any balance remaining after insurance payment has been processed.
Cancellation Policy:
I do my best to be as flexible as possible with regards to scheduling, however, if you do not show up for your scheduled appointment or fail to provide at least 24 hours of notice to change or cancel your appointment, you may be required to pay the full cost of the session.
