Fees, Payments, and Billing
Payment for services is important in any
professional relationship. Clearly defining the financial framework for
therapy can be particularly important in keeping our relationship free
from unnecessary complications that might otherwise jeopardize the
therapeutic goals.
My current regular fees are as follows.
| Regular therapy services: For a
session of 50 minutes, the fee is $ 200.00 . I ask
for payment of each session at its end. I have found that this
arrangement helps us to stay focused on our goals, and so it works
best. It also allows me to keep my fees as low as possible, because it
cuts down on my bookkeeping costs. Clients report that they prefer to
make out their checks before the session begins, in order to best
utilize the therapy time. Any alternative payment arrangement must be
discussed and worked out by mutual agreement. |
| Reports: I will not charge you for
making simple reports to your insurance company. I may have to bill for
extra-long or complex reports the company might require. I will discuss
such situations with you before performing the service. |
| Other services: Charges for other
potential services, such as telephone therapy, hospital visits, home
visits, or any court-related services (such as consultations with
lawyers, depositions, or attendance at courtroom proceedings) will be
based on the time involved in providing the service at my regular fee
schedule. Some services may require payment in advance. |
Please note: If you are in a situation where you feel that the
customary fee for therapy is keeping you from treatment that you
sincerely wish to pursue, I encourage you to contact me and we can talk
together about available options.
