| We will gladly submit claim
forms to your health insurance company, as a courtesy and
attempt to help you with your insurance. Mental Health services
do not require a referral, but do often require a prior authorization
from your insurance. We can handle that for you. You will
be responsible for copayments, deductibles and certain balances
not paid by your insurance. Payment is expected at each session,
unless other arrangements have been agreed to in advance.
You should find out the exact nature of your insurance coverage.
Some policies require copayments, other do not. Some have
a deductible prior to paying benefits. Some policies have
limits.
Unless we have agreed to other arrangements, interest charges
will be added to outstanding balances over 30 days at 1.5%
per month.
APPOINTMENTS
All services are by appointment only. Unlike some services
you purchase, your appointment is yours and yours alone. Because
the appointment is reserved for you, a missed appointment
or a cancellation with less than 24 hours advance notice results
in lost time, time other clients could have been seen. There
will therefore be a charge of $ 35. for any missed or late
canceled appointment. This charge cannot be billed to your
insurance company or other third party.
