Financial Assistance

If you find yourself in need of some financial assistance to pay your psychotherapy fee, there are a two options for you to choose from.

  1. No insurance? If you do not have health insurance to help pay your fee, we offer two reduced fee “slots.” Ask about them.
  2. Have insurance, but want a lower rate? You might or might not be out of luck. That is, we cannot reduce your co-pay amount unless there is some very persuasive reason to do so. For example, if you live on only Social Security Disability funds, and your income is low and not otherwise supplemented, then we will reduce your co-pay to an amount you can afford. 

Electronic billing has eased the “labor” of collecting fees, but there are some companies that are notoriously difficult (e.g., TriWest) and almost all insurance companies have friendly customer service representatives who will answer the phone after “only” 5 to 55 minute of being on hold, and then either provide very hopeful wrong information or transfer you to a very friendly customer service representative who will then either provide very hopeful wrong information or transfer you to a very friendly customer service representative, ad nauseam
