  • MANY INSURANCE COMPANIES REQUIRE PRE-AUTHORIZATION FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES.  IF THIS IS REQUIRED BY YOUR INSURANCE CARRIER AND YOU DID NOT CALL, BE AWARE THAT YOU MAY BE PENALIZED WITH DENIAL OR REDUCED BENEFITS. 
     
    WE ARE NOT IN NETWORK WITH NC MEDICAID. IF YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL INSURANCE, WE WILL GLADLY FILE WITH YOUR PRIMARY INSURANCE, WITH YOU HAVING THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COPAY AND/OR DEDUCTIBLE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CLIENT. 
     
    We will gladly file your insurance for you as a courtesy.  However, we must have FULL INSURANCE INFORMATION COMPLETED BELOW.  It is up to the client to know his/her insurance coverage, including knowledge of co-payment amounts and yearly deductibles.  We cannot verify this information for you.  If payment of the bill has not been satisfied by the insurance company within 90 days, it is the responsibility of the client or parent/guardian to pay the bill in full.  We will not wait for secondary insurance to pay the balance.  Co-payments and deductibles are always due at the time of service.

  • Client-Clinician Agreement

  • CONSENT FOR SERVICES FOR A MINOR

  • I give my consent for psychological services to be provided to my child, by CAROLINA PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATES, P.A.

  • I understand that the sessions with Carolina Psychological Associates have been either authorized through my EAP or approved through a Managed Care Insurance program. This may mean that my child can be seen either free of charge to me, or at reduced rates and/or copayments. I agree to pay all appropriate copayments as well as applicable deductibles and for services disallowed for any reason by my EAP/MC program or insurance company. I may or may not be financially responsible for appointments missed or canceled without 24-hour advance notice. I understand that I will forfeit my allotted EAP session(s) for each appointment missed or canceled without 24-hour advance notice. I agree that if I pay by check, my account will be debited electronically for both the face amount and returned check fee ($25.00) if it is returned unpaid. I also understand that I am financially responsible for any collections fees/court costs involved in collecting my past due account. I understand that if I am unable to keep a scheduled appointment, I will notify Carolina Psychological Associates with at least 24-hour advance notice. I understand that I am financially responsible for all phone calls longer than 15 minutes. Payment is required at the time service is provided; however, insurance information will be obtained at the first session and insurance will be filed as a courtesy to me for sessions following the initial EAP sessions. Psychological testing and hospitalization are not covered by EAP’s.

  • Release and Assignment: I hereby authorize any plan benefits to be paid directly to Carolina Psychological Associates, P.A., and I understand that I am financially responsible for non-covered services, including those for which authorization or payment has been denied, either by my EAP/Managed Care plan or other payor. If a claim is made by me or Carolina Psychological Associates to any insurance company or companies, or to any other third party payor, I do not object to the release by mail, fax, telephone, cell phone or computer modem, any records or other information about me, or my child, or the services which are provided, including without limitation, the complete case record, information concerning any personal, psychological and medical history, information concerning billing and payment for such services. I understand that modern communication modalities, such as cell phone, email, and fax, are subject to difficulties. I understand that Carolina Psychological Associates, P.A. will exercise all reasonable precautions, and I in no way will hold Carolina Psychological Associates, P.A. liable for any difficulties resulting to me or any other family member from the communication of confidential information by means of email, fax or cell phone. I agree that all such information shall be subject to review by such insurance company or third-party payor during the period of my or my child’s treatment by Carolina Psychological Associates or at any other time thereafter. North Carolina State law allows mental health and medical providers to share client information with other mental health providers, without obtaining the client’s written consent, when necessary to coordinate care and treatment. This applies between mental health providers and other health care providers and is regulated by Federal HIPAA Laws (1999). This allows a referring psychotherapist or physician to be informed about a client they have referred.

  • Parent/Guardian Agreement Not to Use Minor’s Therapy Information/Records in Custody Litigation: When a family is in conflict, particularly conflict due to parental separation or divorce, it is very difficult for everyone, particularly for children. Although the therapist’s responsibility to your child may require them helping to address conflicts between the child’s parents, their role will be strictly limited to providing treatment to your child. You agree that in any child custody/visitation proceedings, neither of you will seek to subpoena the records or ask the therapist or Carolina Psychological Associates, P.A. to testify in court, whether in person or by affidavit, or to provide letters or documentation expressing their opinion about parental fitness or custody/visitation arrangements.

  • Please note that your agreement may not prevent a judge from requiring their testimony, even though they will not do so unless legally compelled.  If they are required to testify, they are ethically bound not to give their opinion about either parent’s custody, visitation suitability, or fitness.  If the court appoints a custody evaluator, guardian ad litem, or parenting coordinator, they will provide information as needed, if appropriate releases are signed or a court order is provided but will not make any recommendation about the final decision(s).  Furthermore, if required to appear as a witness or to otherwise perform work related to any legal matter, the party responsible for their participation agrees to reimburse them at the rate of $250.00 per hour for time spent traveling, speaking with attorneys, reviewing and preparing documents, testifying, being in attendance, and any other case-related costs.  These fees are not covered by insurance. Carolina Psychological Associates, P.A. is not a forensic practice and does not choose to be involved in litigation, and we are opposed to it as we do not believe it to be therapeutic.  
     
    If the parents of a child are separated or divorced and there is joint custody, I understand and consent to the other parents’ notification of treatment of my child as advised by the N.C. Attorney General’s Office.
