Office Policies

anglogo.gif (1117 bytes)With you, our valued client, in mind, this office has developed the following credit and office policies. It is our goal for you to receive the quality therapy that you and your family expect and deserve. Therefore, our policies are designed to help you afford this quality therapy. We request that all of our clients follow these policies so that we can continue to have a mutually-rewarding relationship between you and our office. If any of our policies create an undue hardship for you, please let us know and we will cheerfully try to accommodate your special needs.

 

CREDIT POLICIES

To establish credit, we request that all first-time clients pay for their entire initial session at the time of the appointment. After the first session, to keep fees manageable, we request that your fees be paid at the end of each session. If it is not possible for you to pay the entire amount in this manner, please discuss other payment arrangements with your therapist. We will extend credit to our valued clients if necessary and requested. In all cases, we ask that you make some payment at every appointment.

 

Regarding children’s accounts, the parent who requests treatment for the child is responsible for all fees for services rendered. All dependent children must be accompanied by an adult in order for us to provide the necessary care.

 

INSURANCE

Insurance coverage for mental health and natural therapies varies widely. As a courtesy to you, we will be happy to call your insurance carrier for pre-authorizations and benefit estimates (if requested), as well as submit claims for our services to your insurance carrier and inform them to pay you directly. It should be understood that you are financially responsible to this office for all charges incurred on your account. Very few insurance companies pay 100%, so you need to be sure that you understand your own particular plan. This office has no contract with any insurance company - the contract is between you and your carrier.

 

PAYMENT DISCOUNTS

In most instances, proper treatment requires more than just one session. Your therapist will develop a treatment plan specifically for you. Many clients find it easier to pay for several sessions at once so they can spend their sessions concentrating on making therapeutic progress, rather than spending time taking care of finances. A $10.00 discount per session is given when you prepay for at least 3 sessions in advance ($30.00 discount on 3 prepaid sessions; $50.00 discount for 5-session prepayment; $100.00 discount for 10 session prepayment). Payment by cash, check, money order, credit or debit card are accepted.
