Fees and Payment
At Counseling Consultants we believe that mental health care should be affordable. Our fees are determined on a sliding-fee scale. We also accept most insurance plans, including Medicare. There is no charge for telephone calls or when you contact us for emergencies. We also do not charge for writing letters, completing paperwork for insurance companies or brief reports. Evaluations, or other complex reports are billed for the time it requires to complete. Your counselor will discuss this with you if such a situation occurs. Other services such as court related services (testimony, depositions, attendance at court hearings, etc.) are billed for the time involved. You should talk with your counselor if you need these services. Insurance Many health insurance plans will help you pay for counseling and other services offered at Counseling Consultants. The clerical staff will assist you with your insurance claims in any way possible. However, please keep two things in mind. First, we have had no role in deciding what your insurance covers. Your employer has made the decision which mental health services are covered and how much will be paid. While we will assist you in understanding your benefits, your insurance contract is between you and your company. Second, you, not your insurance company or any other person, company or organization are responsible for paying your fees. If your insurance does not pay, then you are responsible for paying your fees. If you ever have any questions about your insurance, please ask the clerical staff or your counselor. All fees payable with cash, personal check, AMEX, Debit Card, VISA®, MasterCard®,
and are subject to change.
