rates and Insurance
first appointment
Therapy generally starts with an intake where we will meet with you and fill out the initial paperwork. During this time, pertinent information will be discussed about insurance, policies, and your rights as a client of our practice. During your first appointment with your therapist, they will complete a Comprehensive Clinical Assessment, and ask a wide range of questions. This session is a means of getting an idea of who you are and how we may be of help. It is also the beginning of putting together the course of your treatment. The fee for this intake is $150.00. At this appointment, your first therapy appointment will also be scheduled.
insurance
We accept the following insurances: Medicaid with Local Management Entities being; Cardinal Innovations, Sandhills, and Partners. Vaya, Aetna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, Magellan, Medcost, Optum United, and Cigna are also insurances accepted. As providers, we will bill them directly for payment. Please be aware of what your deductible and co-pay are for your individual plan.
ON-GOING THERAPY AND FEE INFORMATION
After the assessment, individual therapy sessions are typically 45- 90 minutes long; depending on age and needs of child and family. Agreements about payment amount and method are discussed prior to our first session and then discussed more fully during intake, so please contact us if you have a need. We operate on a “fee-for-service” model, meaning clients will be asked to pay at the beginning of each session. An invoice will then be provided for your records.
MISSED SESSIONS AND CANCELLATIONS
In order to both organize our practice and guarantee client’s regular times, we schedule a single weekly (or biweekly) time slot for a client. Missed sessions are not billable to insurance and will be billed directly to the client if the proper cancellation procedures are not followed. A no show fee will be charged of $50. Missed session or late cancelation fees can be waived for emergencies only.
