Missed Sessions

Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance.  If you miss an appointment you will be charged $45 for the first missed appointment, $100 for the second, and $150 for all other missed sessions.

There is some flexibility for special circumstances or weather.  Keep in mind that you are reserving a time slot that nobody else is able to use.  If you do cancel on short notice and your time slot gets filled, there is no charge.

Insurance

Accepting Cofinity, Aetna, BC/BS PPO, BC/BS Traditional, and BC/BS Community Blue.  Those with other insurance carriers typically pay up front and get reimbursed directly by their carrier.  There is no guarantee your carrier will cover services, but most times they pay an "out of network"rate for psychological serves.

Keep in mind that if you pay by insurance, the carrier requires a psychiatric diagnosis.  Often, a report is required and there is no way to control who at the insurance company reads the report.
