Please take a moment to review the following information
Consultation
It is our policy to have a brief phone conversation with all potential clients, so we can get a sense of whether it is a good match. It is also an opportunity for us to decide whether or not we will be able to help you with your current concerns.
Reduced Fees
If you cannot afford our fee, please let us know because we do have a limited sliding scale or we can connect you with another counselor to serve your needs.
Insurance
As a general courtesy, we will contact your insurance provider to verify benefits and co-pay. Claims for services will be billed directly to your insurance provider. We will do our best to gather and convey accurate information regarding coverage, however, you are responsible for any unpaid services by your insurance provider.
Cancellation Policy
If you do not attend your scheduled appointment or do not give at least 24 hours notice of cancellation, you will be charged a $50 fee payable at the next session.
Payment
Cash, Credit Card, Health Savings Accounts or check accepted for payment at the time of service.
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
- You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
