The time we allow for sessions varies for individuals, families and couples and initial sessions are generally longer (see below). However, we will work within the time constraints of your budget or insurance coverage. We do not bill for brief telephone calls of 10 minutes or less.
Health insurance may cover a portion of the cost of therapy. However, you are ultimately responsible for the bill. If we are an in network provider with your insurance company you will only have to pay your co-pay at the time of the visit. If we are an out of network provider with your insurance company, we expect payment in full at the time of service. We file insurance claims every 4 weeks or so and will supply bills and/or receipts upon request.
If you cannot attend an appointment, we ask for as much notice as possible in consideration of others who may be awaiting an opening. You will be charged $75 for no-shows or appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. Exceptions may be made if we are able to fill the appointment or reschedule the missed appointment prior to our next regularly scheduled time. Insurance will not pay for late cancellations or missed appointments.
We hope this clarifies some of the mechanics of working together. If you have any questions, now or in the future, please feel free to bring them up.
