Fees are charged by time spent with you and prorated accordingly. Both initial intake sessions and therapy sessions are typically scheduled for 60 minutes at a rate of $180 per 60 minutes. If a 60-minute session is scheduled and reserved for you, you will be expected to pay for the full session even if you arrive late or have to leave early.
I also charge for my time engaging in other services for you including, but not limited to: phone calls with you prorated at a rate of $180 per 60 minutes (you will not be charged if the call is 10 minutes or less), and case management tasks including consultation with schools or other providers (such as medical professionals), compiling and summarizing requested records, letter writing or other documentation.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
