Fees & Policies
Insurance
If I am a provider in your insurance company, I will bill
your company for you. If you are using your out-of-network
benefits, I will give you a receipt and you must file with
your company. All reimbursement is between you and your insurance
company. You may want to call your provider to get information
regarding reimbursement so you will know what to expect from
your company. It may be helpful to find out your deductible,
what percent of each session is covered and if there is a
limit to the number of sessions allowed.
Fees / Session Length
The fee for each session is required at the time of service.
Hourly sessions last approximately fifty (50) minutes. An
hour and a half session would last 75 continual minutes. I
can accept cash or checks (no credit or debit cards) and will
provide you with a receipt for your insurance company if you'd
like.

Cancellations
Your session time is reserved for you. Twenty four (24) hour
notice is required for cancellations or you will be charged
the full service rate. If you have a co-pay and miss the session
without required notice, you will be charged for the full
service amount, not the co-pay. Cancellations for Monday are
required to be made on Friday.
Emergency Policy
I check my voice mail and messages several times a day and
can be reached by calling (713) 524-9525. If your call is
an emergency, you may leave an urgent message with the voice
mail system, dial “#1911” for assistance and the answering
service will attempt to locate me. If I am out of the office
on vacation or leave, I will have someone “on call” that you
may contact in my absence. In case of an emergency and you
can not reach me, you can call any one of the following emergency
numbers: 911, United Way Crisis Hotline (713) 228-1505, MHMRA
Crisis Unit (713) 970-7000 or go to the nearest hospital emergency
room for assistance.
