************************************************* 

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan.
Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions: 

• Do I have mental health insurance benefits? 
• What is my deductible and has it been met?   
• 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?   
• Is pre-authorization required before my first visit.   

While I will do everything possible to help provide you with information about your insurance benefits, it is ultimately your responsibility to manage your health care benefits. Please bring a copy of a valid photo ID and your insurance cards to your first visit. 

Rates   

Remember that the rates below are not necessarily what you pay at your visit!  If I am contracted with your insurance, you will pay your co-pay (if you have one) or possibly full fee if you have not met your deductible.  For example, if you have met your deductible, your co-pay is $30.00, then you will pay $30.00 even though my fee is higher, because once insurance pays the "negotiated amount" to me, your balance may then be written off.  This is NOT the case with "no show" or "late cancellation" charges.  You are responsible for those charges "in full."  

• $170* for Clinical Interview and Initial Assessment.  
• $110* per 45-minute Individual Psychotherapy Session.  
• $110* Family and Couples Psychotherapy per Session.  

*These are my standard rates, but our contracted rates with your insurance may vary. 
If you have insurance, then please refer to your insurance plan to understand what
your individual co-pay or out of pocket expense will be.
  

Cancellation Policy 

If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you may be required to pay the full fee for the cost of the session.  

If you are a new patient who fails to show or cancels at the last minute twice, you may not be offered another appointment. 

Your signature for the "Policies and Procedures" paperwork means that you understand the above information.
