Fees

My current fee is $120.00 for a fifty-minute session.  If needed, please ask about current availability of reduced fee appointment openings and sliding scale options.

Please also see the information further below regarding “Good Faith Estimates”.

Insurance

Upon request, I can provide a receipt for you to request reimbursement from your insurance for counseling/psychotherapy services received from an out-of-network provider.  If you would like to be reimbursed by your insurance, it is important that you contact your insurer and understand the details of your policy.

Accepted Payment Forms

Cash, Check & Cards

Payment

Payment is due in full at the start of each session.

Cancellation

There is a 24 hour cancellation policy meaning if you cancel your appointment within 24 hours of your scheduled time or don’t show up at all you will still be billed for the appointment. For this reason, all clients are required to keep a credit card on file.  Insurance does not reimburse for missed appointments.

Additional Information

During one of your initial appointments, we will discuss these and other policies in more detail to ensure we’re in agreement.  Questions regarding these policies or any aspect of services provided are encouraged and appreciated.

Good Faith Estimates

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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the Colorado Division of Insurance at 303-894-7490 or 1-800-930-3745.
