PROFESSIONAL FEES AND PAYMENT. Our providers set their own fees. Please discuss this during your visit. If you want to set up a payment plan, you may also discuss this during your visit. You will be expected to pay for each session at the time it is held, unless another schedule is agreed upon or unless you have insurance coverage. If we file your insurance, you are expected to make your co-pay at each visit. Payment schedules for other professional services (such as report writing, extended telephone conversations, consulting with other professionals with your permission, preparation of records or treatment summaries, or legal testimony) will be agreed to when they are requested and are not insurance reimbursable. We accept cash, personal checks, Visa, Discover, and MasterCard. There will be a $25 service charge for returned checks. If your account has not been paid for more than 60 days and you have not made arrangements for payment, we have the option of using legal means to secure the payment. This may include collection agency or small claims court which will require disclosing otherwise confidential information. In most collection situations, the only information released regarding a patient’s treatment is his/her name, the nature of services provided, and the amount due. [If such legal action is necessary, its costs will be included in the claim.]

If your account is delinquent, I may stop providing services and take measures to collect payment. This may include referral to a collection agency or court action. This will necessarily require disclosure of some confidential information.

The Company will pay for Services within sixty (60) days of receipt of Professional's invoice and will reimburse Professional for agreed upon reimbursable expenses within sixty (60) days of receipt of verification of such expenses.
PROFESSIONAL FEES AND PAYMENT. As mentioned previously, I will provide a free 15-minute phone consultation to anyone who is interested in learning more about my services and to provide an initial determination about whether or not my services are appropriate for you.

PROFESSIONAL FEES AND PAYMENT. Hourly fees and payment schedules are discussed when we arrange our initial appointment. Appointments lasting longer or shorter than a typical session (50 minutes) are charged on a prorated basis. I do not charge for routine telephone calls or emails, however, I may charge you for professional time requested of me above and beyond what is usually required (for example, telephone sessions lasting longer than 15 minutes). I will let you know ahead of time if this becomes an issue. You are expected to pay for each session at the time it is held, unless we agree otherwise. Most patients pay in cash or with a check at the end of the session (I am not able to accept a credit card for payment). Any returned checks will be charged a fee of $35.00
