Longer Sessions and Phone Sessions:

By prior agreement, some sessions may be scheduled for longer than 60 minutes in order to accommodate specific modalities such as Energetic Medicines or Shamanic Practices. Session fees will be pro-rated per 15 minute intervals at the agreed upon 60 minute session fee. Phone calls lasting longer than 5 minutes will also be prorated at our agreed upon session fee.

 

Payment

Currently, cash or check are accepted for payment. Payment is due at each session unless prior arrangements have been made.

 

Cancellation/No Show Policy

If you cannot attend your scheduled session, a minimum of 24 hours notice is needed or you will be charged for the missed session. For Insurance clients, please note. Since I cannot receive reimbursement if you do not attend your scheduled session, you are personally responsible for the full cost of the session (not just the copayment) at the missed session rate listed below.

- For the first missed session without 24 hours notice: 50% of your usual session fee

- For second missed session without 24 hours notice: 100% of your usual session fee

- Acute illness or emergency will not result in session charges

 

Insurance Involvement in Your Care

While insurance coverage can be helpful in providing you the financial support needed to receive services, please note that insurance involvement also means that your confidentiality may be compromised. Insurance billing requires I provide at minimum: a specific mental health diagnosis and date of onset of symptoms in order to bill for your services. I may also be required to provide a mental health assessment, treatment plan and other information. Some of the services I offer may not be reimbursed by your insurance provider.

If you have insurance coverage for mental health services but would like to discuss a sliding scale fee for services, please ask.

 

Insurance

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance plan. You are responsible for your insurance co-payment at each session.

I am currently a Preferred Provider for Pacific Source and ODS Health Plans.

With other insurances, I may be able to offer services as an out of network provider. This means you may have a higher copayment, but I still may be able to bill your insurance for the some of session cost. In the past years, I have been able to work with a number of insurance companies, as an out of network provider and with just a moderate increase in copayment for the plan member.

Check your coverage carefully. As some plans require a referral or pre-authorization for mental health services, please call if you have questions so we can insure the guidelines of your insurance coverage before you schedule an appointment. If we determine I can bill your insurance, please provide me with a photo copy of both sides of your insurance card.
