Payment Policies
Fee Schedule
Psychotherapy and psychological testing for adults, adolescents, and children are billed at $165 for the first session, and at $110 per 45-minute session thereafter. Fees for shorter or longer sessions will be prorated accordingly.
Payment Plans
We offer two plans for the payment of our fees. Please feel free to ask your therapist about our payment plans.
Plan A: I will pay in full at each appointment, by cash, check, or credit card.
Plan B: I will pay my co-payment amount at the time of each visit. I will check with my insurance carrier regarding my copayment amount; until this amount is established I will pay 50% of the fee charged. I want you to bill my insurance company.
It is our policy to bill your insurance company as a courtesy to you if you request that we do so. Please remember that you are responsible for fees not covered by your insurance company. If paying by check, please write your check in advance so that time during our session will not have to be taken up with preparing payment.
Some services and charges may not be reimbursable by health insurance. These may include but are not limited to psychological testing, telephone calls, and missed appointments.
Cancellations and Missed Appointments
If you are unable to keep a scheduled appointment, we ask for notification 24 hours in advance in order to make that time available to other clients. If you fail to cancel your appointments or cancel without adequate notice or cause, you may be charged a fee of up to the hourly rate. Such charges are NOT covered by insurance. If you need to cancel or change an appointment, please call the office and leave a message (319-358-9397).
Managed Care and Confidentiality
Some insurance companies require us to provide them with specific information, such as diagnosis, symptoms, goals and progress. This information is used to determine the number of sessions that will be reimbursed by the insurance company. If you have concerns about this, please discuss it with your therapist or contact your insurance company (more information about confidentiality).
Quality Assurance
In our efforts to provide the highest quality of care, we hold regular quality assurance meetings and consultation/supervision sessions within our practice.
Consumer Rights
Since you are a consumer of psychological services, it is your right to discuss any questions you have about the services you are receiving with your therapist. We invite you to communicate openly and directly with your therapist about your thoughts and reactions to therapy.
