Practice Information
Fees and Insurance
Fees are based on the amount of time spent in session and are compatible with the usual and customary charges allowed by insurance plans. Most major insurance plans are accepted. Plans may have specific co-pays, requirements to access benefits, or a set limit of sessions. For this reason, it is best to contact your insurance company to identify your particular benefits. Self-pay is also an option if you do not have insurance or do not wish to use your insurance coverage.
Payment
Payment and/or co-pays are expected at the time of service. Cash, checks, health savings accounts, and all major credit cards are accepted.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give 24-hour advanced notice so that your time slot may be available for other clients. Voicemail is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will record the time of your call. Failure to provide 24-hour advanced notice to cancel or reschedule will result in the billing of the fee for the missed session. Please note that most insurance companies will not provide reimbursement for cancelled or missed sessions.
