Payment
You may decide to use your insurance or elect to pay for services directly. The advantage of paying for services directly is that your privacy is more safely guarded. Please note that many insurance plans reimburse members for psychological services, but each plan has different rules about what they pay for and what they do not.
For most preferred provider organizations (PPO’s) there is usually a deductible and co-pay. This means that once you pay an initial amount, the PPO pays a portion of fees and you pay the remainder. Most managed care organizations (MCO’s) will only pay for a doctor that they have already selected to be on their panel of providers. If our staff is not a member on your MCO’s panel, you would have to pay the full fee.
Please call your insurance carrier directly to ask them about your coverage and whether it would cover our fees. We can assist you in completing and submitting forms for reimbursement.
The client’s portion of fee is expected at the time when services are rendered. Clients may pay by cash, check, or credit card.
