  • We are considered an out-of- network service provider with all insurance carriers. This enables us to deliver a higher quality of care, with individualized attention, and complete confidentiality. We can provide you with a detailed monthly superbill that may be used to request reimbursement. This superbill reimbursement is widely acceptable by most insurance carriers, however, we cannot guarantee all or any reimbursement.

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

    Beginning January 1, 2022, if you’re uninsured or if you opt for self-pay (i.e., not going through your health insurance), health care providers must provide you with an estimate of the expected charges before you get an item or service. This is called a good faith estimate (GFE). Providers and facilities must provide you with a GFE if you request one, or after you’ve scheduled a service. It should include the expected charges for all items or services that are provided as part of the same scheduled experience. The provider must provide a list of all items and services associated with your care.

    For more information, please visit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website at www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

  • While we wish there was a concrete answer that we could provide, the length of therapy is highly individualized and based on a number of different factors including: severity of disorder, responsiveness to therapy, child and family motivation, relevant history, and the implementation of practice and carryover at home.

  • All new clients must be evaluated prior to treatment unless an evaluation has occurred in the last four months in the areas of concern. Evaluations are a critical part of the treatment process as they allow us to determine the underlying cause and guide us towards creating an appropriate and current plan of care.
