No insurance is accepted.  However, you will be provided with all the necessary information with instructions for you to file.  Most insurance do not cover couple or family counseling.  Please check with your insurance company on what types of counseling your policy allows.  Also, insurance companies will not reimburse you for missed appointments or late cancellations, form completions or letters.  Those charges will always be your responsibility.

ONE-TIME VISITS AND AUTOMATIC TERMINATION OF SERVICES: For a one-time consultation or if at the first visit, we decide not to pursue initiation of treatment, no patient relationship is formed and you will not be considered an established patient.  You will not receive any written termination letter.  If you have not been seen in 12 months or it has been at least 12 months from the date of your last prescription, your services will be automatically terminated.  If you decide to come back for a visit, you will be charged the initial evaluation rate, rather than a follow up visit rate.
 
PRIVACY ISSUES AND REQUEST OF MEDICAL RECORDS: You have the right to ask for your medical records.  You must sign a Release of Information Request.  Request must be in writing.  The charge for coping or faxing your medical record is $30.00 for the first 10 pages and $1.00 per page thereafter.  This charge must be paid in advance.  We are not responsible for records that have been released from this office.  We have the legal right to refuse to release any medical records if it is not in your best interest.  It takes up to 10 business days to have records ready.
 
LEGAL ISSUES: We strongly advise against bringing forth your mental health information in any legal case.  You have the right to block your mental health records from being brought into any legal case by asking your attorney to write a letter to the judge asking that these records be barred from legal inquiry.  This is your right.  However, if you chose to bring your records into a legal case, please understand that once you allow mental health records to be opened in a legal case, there is no more confidentiality.  Also, if I am brought into court for any reason, you will be charged $300.00/hour.  You will be asked to give a retainer fee of $3,000.00 in advance.
