RATES FOR Services is dependent on which affiliated counselor you see through Get Centered. Under the Meet the Team tab each counselor will identify their specific services and rates. Most services at Get Centered consist of a 50 minute long service which is typical for therapy and coaching. All new clients will complete an INTAKE SESSION which is typically 1.5-2 hours.
PAYMENT All session fees are due at the time of service. Payment is by cash, check (payable to Get Centered), credit card or health savings debit card and is due at the completion of each session.
INSURANCE Our affiliates offer fee-for-service or private pay services, which means we don’t accept in-network insurance. Our providers do that for a variety of reasons; the main reason is to avoid a mental health diagnosis from the DSM-V-TR. With a fee-for-service provider, clients do not have to receive a diagnosis, so that what happens in our work together is shared between us, instead of with an insurance company. Many clients prefer the privacy of a fee-for-service provider because it prevents insurance companies from accessing treatment plans, case notes and other important, private mental health information, as well as it is not in their permanent record.
If insurance is the only way to get the support you need, you can talk to your insurance provider (call the number on the back of your insurance card) about out-of-network options to see if our work together would be partially reimbursed. Please keep in mind that the receipt has to include a legitimate, applicable mental health disorder diagnosis (for example adjustment disorder, substance dependence, or depression) and that many providers do not cover couple’s therapy. Questions to ask your insurance provider about out-of-network coverage options:
- What is the representative’s name and extension number?
- Does my policy cover an Out of Network, Licensed Professional Counselor?
- My counselor is willing to provide a statement of Session Dates Attended, the CPT code, and the diagnosis. Is this acceptable to the insurance company?
- Does my policy cover Individual Psychotherapy? (CPT code 90834)
- What mental health diagnoses are NOT reimbursable?
- How many session are covered per year?
- What is the lifetime maximum for mental health benefits?
- What is my Out of Network deductible?
- What is the allowed amount of the fee?
- What percent of the allowed amount will be reimbursed?
- How do I file a claim?
HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS The cost of some services may be able to come out of a Health Savings Account, or Flex Spending Account. Please speak with your provider to determine the requirements. Our affiliates are happy to provide you with a receipt/superbill.
LATE CANCELLATION & NO SHOW POLICY We require a 24-hour cancellation notice for any scheduled appointments. If you fail to notify your service provider at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full session fee before the next appointment. Your credit card information is collected at the beginning of services to ensure that the cancelation fee is paid.
Therapeutically, late-cancel fees keep clients accountable to their own self-care commitments. It also keeps a reasonable level of availability for clients to access the services that they need. Late-cancels and no-shows take valuable time away from other clients because they cannot be scheduled for that hour.
LATE POLICY Clients who are late to scheduled appointments will be charged at the regular price of services.
NOTE: The price of services and service providers may change. Our providers make every effort to work with existing clients, who will be alerted in advance of any rate increases and staff changes.
