BILLING
Payment for an initial consultation is required either before or at the time of the office visit. Payment for subsequent services can be arranged in several different ways, according to your convenience. Payment may be made at the time of office visits, made by credit card, or billed at the end of the month. There will be a 3% surcharge for credit card payments. If you chose to be billed monthly, we ask that you settle your account in a timely fashion, no later than the end of the following month.

CANCELLATION AND LATE POLICIES – Forty-eight hours (two full business day) cancellation notice is required for appointment times reserved. Should you cancel with less than 48-hour notice, I will do my best to fill the appointment hour. If I am unable to, your account will be billed the fee for the time reserved. If you will be arriving late for your appointment, please contact me to let me know and note that the session will still end at the regularly scheduled time. As mentioned, please don’t hesitate to raise any questions you may have regarding billing and insurance.
Insurance Information for Therapy Clients:
Therapy is provided on a private-pay basis, which means I require payment in full at the time of service and do not accept reimbursement from insurance companies. I know how important finances are in making the decision to seek my services. To assist you, I offer receipts to clients seeking potential out-of-network reimbursement for the cost of therapy. It will be your responsibility to manage the mechanics of your insurance claim. I do not accept direct assignment of payment from insurance carriers. Any reimbursement will go directly to you.
Since I do not have access to anyone’s insurance policy benefits, the best way to find out information about out-of-network benefits is to call your insurance company and ask the following questions:
1. Does my policy include reimbursement for out of network mental health treatment?
2. Is there a separate deductible for services that are out of network?
3. Once a deductible is met, how much of the session fee is covered?
For Coaching Clients:
Coaching is not paid by insurance nor is it a medical procedure or clinical relationship.
