Rates and Policies

Payment is due at the time the service is provided. Prior to the first session, please check with your insurance company to establish your eligibility, cost share, visit limits and pre-authorization requirements. If your insurance company refuses to pay for services rendered, you are responsible for providing payment in full.

Record request(s) for legal proceedings will incur a $25 administrative fee along with a 1.15 for the first 30 pages and .80 per each additional page.
5. Sessions going over 53-minutes will be charged an extended session fee pro-rated per 15-minute increment of your providers hourly rate. Insurance companies no longer cover extended sessions, so these require private payment.

Cancellations and missed appointments any changes or cancellations to appointments must be made by phone or email with at least a 24-hour notice. You can expect to be charged the full fee for that appointment if adequate notice is not giving. Insurance companies do not pay for missed or cancelled appointments and you will be required to pay this fee before your next scheduled appointment.  We also reserve the right to terminate care for repeated late cancellation and missed appointments that interfere with continuity of care and designated treatment plan.

Payment of Services

We accept cash, checks, HSA Cards, Visa and MasterCard Credit Cards with automatic payments at time of invoicing.  There will be a $35 charge for each returned check. Accounts not paid in full will incur a monthly finance charge of 3% on unpaid balances after 30 days.
