The final confirmation of your benefits and copay will appear on the Explanation of Benefits you receive from the insurance company.

An additional $20 will be billed for the initial session and yearly intake.

Clients should report any changes to income and provide supporting documentation. Clients must provide their proof of income via mail, email, fax, or in person before or at their first appointment. If proof of income is not received by the first appointment, clients will be charged $80 for the initial session. Clients will not be able to reschedule until proof of income is provided.
