Psychological services may be covered in part or in full by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

Is pre-authorization required by my primary care physician? Do I have mental health benefits, if so what kind of sessions are covered? Do I have a copay and a coinsurance fee? What is my deductible and has it been met? What is the coverage difference between and in network or out of network provider?

Your insurance may pay a part of the cost; however, your copay and coinsurance becomes your fee. In some instances, insurance companies require pre-approval for psychological services. Please call Prestige Medical Billing at (360) 805-0323 if you have questions about insurance coverage, fees, or payment.

I hold a certain number of appointments for Adjusted Fee situations. The adjusted fee will be determined between the two of us at the initial appointment. Unless otherwise arranged, my fees are as follows:

Telephone calls are not a covered benefit; however the first ten minutes are free and billed to you at $20.00 every 15 minute increment thereafter.
