Payment generally works in one of two ways: insurance or private pay. Either way we’d love to help you figure it out. Please contact us if you have questions.
Insurance
If you have health insurance you probably have coverage for behavioral or mental health services. If we are in network with your health insurance you will likely pay a co-pay at each session (usually between $10-$30, though occasionally a bit more). Your insurance will pay the rest. We will submit the claims for you. If we are out of network with your insurance company, all is not lost. Often your insurance company will also provide out of network benefits.
Private Pay
If you do not have insurance, or your out of network benefits are not good, or you simply do not want to use insurance for other reasons, we can make that work as well. Sometimes we can offer a sliding scale if that rate is prohibitive. We would love to try to find a way for you to see one of our excellent clinicians.

Intensives
Insurance will often cover these sessions at least in part. You would be responsible for your copay, coinsurance, deductible, and/or any amount your insurance does not cover. All intensives require a $400 deposit to reserve the counselor’s time. Reservations can be cancelled within 48 hours of booking without penalty, but after that the deposit is non-refundable.

Good Faith Estimate
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 one 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, as outlined here: §149.620
• 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 www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call our office at (814) 308-0704.
