Fees and Insurance
Policies:
Payment of fees is expected at the time of each appointment unless other arrangements have been made with your counselor. We request that payment be made before your session begins.
We accept cash, check and
all major credit cards including medical flex spending account cards. If you have a credit card on file with us, you can expect for your account to be billed on the Monday following your session.
We are primarily a private pay facility; however we will work with insurance companies as out of network providers. By being out-of-network vs. in-network providers, we are able to ensure a greater level of confidentiality for our clients and drastically reduce the paperwork for our clinicians.
If you choose to use the out-of-network option, full payment is due at the time of service and we will provide you with a super-bill or specialized statement of services rendered that you can use to file your own claim. In this case, reimbursement will be made from the insurance provider directly to the client. It is important that you contact your insurance provider before your first appointment to determine if you need to have pre-approval for your sessions. Our office manager or intake coordinator will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this procedure.
Please note that we are also willing to negotiate our fees when necessary and appropriate. You may contact our intake coordinator for more information regarding reduced fees and alternate payment options.
What are the major differences between private pay and using insurance? Self-Pay... Complete confidentiality:
Your case record is the property of the center; information would only
be released if legally required or you gave your consent.
Using Insurance.... Lack of confidentiality:
A case manager and billing staff at the insurance company will be aware
of your diagnosis and treatment plan; many mental health benefits are
also contingent on periodic updates from your therapist; your therapy
may become part of your permanent medical record. |
