Payment of Fees
Payment of your portion of the fees is due at the time of service. This may be made in the form of a check, cash, or credit card.
There is a $75 charge for missed appointments or appointments cancelled less than 24 hours in advance unless a prior arrangement is made with your provider. This notice is needed to reschedule the appointment time with another client. This charge is not covered by insurance policies.
There is a $35 charge for all returned checks.
A service fee of up to 10% per month will be added to any bill that is 90 days past due. If referral to a collection agency is necessary, an additional charge of up to 50% of the balance will be added to cover the cost of collection and any court costs.
Using health insurance to cover fees
If you would like to use your health insurance, call the number on your insurance ID card, ask the member representative to give you the information listed below, and write down the details of your mental health coverage before your first session and bring it with you.
Completing this form will help you:
- confirm that your provider is covered by your insurance and complete pre-authorization of services if needed.
- determine if there is an annual deductible amount to be met before co-pays can start
- if you need to pay a copayment (fixed amount due at each session) or coinsurance (amount based on a certain percentage of the charge for each session).
Non-covered services
Services not covered by health insurance include sessions exceeding 60 minutes, court testimony, letter- and report-writing, phone calls lasting more than five minutes, and authorized contact with other professionals, including attorneys, teachers, physicians, and providers.
These services will be discussed with the client in advance, and are usually prorated on the time involved, based on an hourly rate set by your provider.
Evaluation and testing : The cost of psychological evaluation/testing varies with the tests administered and will be explained by the examiner prior to testing.
