It is the patients' responsibility to inform me of any changes in insurance plans, benefits, copays, deductibles and so on. Failure to inform me of lapses in or changes to insurance coverage could result in untimely authorizations and denial of claim payments. In the event that claims are denied due to the patients' failure to notify me of any changes in coverage renders the patient responsible for full payment of sessions.

Copays are due at the time services are rendered. If a minor is attending session without guardian, please arrange payment prior to the session.

The charge for a returned check is $30. This fee will be charged to your account in addition to the insufficient fund amount.

Phone calls are subject to billing at a prorated session fee at my discretion.

Charges may be incurred for attendance at school IEP meetings, court attendance, contact with collateral providers, and report/letter writing.

I require at least 48 hour notice for the cancellation of appointments. Setting aside emergencies, if a patient cancels within 48 hours of the appointed time, they will be charged the full fee for the session. All cancellations must be made by the patient or parent over the phone, either speaking to me directly or leaving a voice message. Unforeseen events may prevent a patient from being able to attend a session or to cancel in a timely manner. At my discretion and depending on availability, a make-up session may be offered.
