    FEES

    All fees are billed to third party insurance companies, unless other arrangements have been made. The patient is responsible for the copayment and/or deductible fees. Patients with MassHealth secondary insurance cover the age of 21 will be responsible for copayments.

    If your insurance plan changes, please let our office know as soon as possible. Failure to provide a new insurance policy may result in no coverage for a date of service. Dr. Hamoda is only credentialed with Blue Cross and Blue Shield. If you change to another insurance provider you will be switched to direct pay.

    MISSED APPOINTMENTS

    We require that all appointment changes or cancellations are made at least 24-hours in advance. You can notify your clincian through email or by leaving a message at 781-349-2062. Appointments missed without notice may be charged a $75 missed appointment fee for therapy appointments or a $100 missed appointment fee for psychiatry appointments. If a client consistently no shows or cancels later than 24-hours and/or has missed a total of three appointments, this will constitute grounds for termination.

     

    CONFIDENTIALITY

    Psychological services are best provivded in an atmosphere of trust. Because trust is so important, all services are confidential. Nevertheless, we are required by law to make exceptions in certain circumstances, such as when there is suspicion of child abuse, an immediate danger to yourself or others, or other serious occassions.

     

    ROUTINE, NON-URGENT MESSAGES

    All clients are asked to contact their provider directly with any routine or non-urgent messages. You can find their email address on our website, www.norwoodbehavioralhealth.com. You can also contact the office at 781-349-2062 or email bditullio@norwoodbehavioralhealth.com. Please allow 24-48 hours for a response, as some of our providers only in the office part time.
