At
all times, and in all circumstances, the client or guardian is
financially responsible for all services, and also responsible for
becoming informed
on all the provisions of any covered health insurance
policy.- It is customary for us to be paid at the time of your session.
- If
you are insured and we are an authorized provider, we will bill your
insurance plan and accept direct payment from them for their portion.
- In
most cases you still must pay a "copayment" or "coinsurance" amount
which is paid directly to us at the time of your session. Your insurance
plan will tell you the amount you owe for each session. Be aware that
this amount is sometimes different for mental health than the amount you
may pay to other medical providers.
- If
your plan has a deductible, you will also have to pay the entire
contracted amount for the session until your deductible has been
satisfied. Your insurance member services representative can tell you how
much of your deductible you have already satisfied.
- In
many cases, you must call your insurance company or their subcontracted
service provider for authorization for mental health services prior to
the first date of service. Write down any authorization number they
give you and bring it to your session.
