1. My fee is $170.00 per therapy hour and $190.00 for couples or family sessions, payable at the end of each session. The usual therapy hour consists of 45-50 minutes. The fee for the initial diagnostic session is $195.00. Charges for consultations outside the usual therapy hour (i.e., school observations, hospital visits, depositions. etc will be determined on an individual basis.

2. Payment is expected at the end of each session. Please discuss exceptional circumstances with me at the first session. Collection of insurance benefits or any other arrangement regarding third party payment is your responsibility. However, I will file insurance on your behalf. After the office manager verifies your insurance eligibility and level of benefits, I will gladly accept only the co-payment. Until that time, please plan on paying the full amount. My office verifies insurance benefits in an attempt to obtain accurate information regarding your co-payment and/or deductibles. However. it is very common for insurance companies to pay differently than what they quoted at the time of your visit. For that reason, you may receive a bill for services rendered if your insurance company does not reimburse as anticipated. If your managed care company requires authorization for our sessions. I will complete all necessary paperwork to obtain them. However, my office cannot adequately track number of sessions used for each authorization. Therefore, to avoid any disruption in your reimbursement, it is your responsibility to monitor the number of sessions we have used and to notify me when we are about to exceed those authorize. I can submit additional clinical information to obtain more sessions.

3. Since your appointment time is reserved for you, please notify me as soon as possible if you find that you must cancel an appointment. Appointments not canceled with at least 24 hours notice will be billed at the usual fee of $170.00 or $190.00 Missed appointments cannot be billed to the insurance company. You may leave a message with my answering service after hours and on weekends if you need to cancel an appointment. Full Slate. the calendar I use. will email 72 hrs, 24 hrs in advance to remind you. If it fails to do so you still bear responsibility to cancel.
