Appointments & Payment

sunset2We offer a brief no fee telephone consultation in order to assess whether our counseling services are compatible with your needs and expectations. Appointments are scheduled on a weekly basis for treatment consistency, continuity and effectiveness. Appointment sessions are usually 30 to 60 minutes long. Sessions may be held in our office, by telehealth or your home/ facility.

We also provide telehealth services in the states of Delaware, Florida, South Carolina and Vermont through the telehealth registry.

We believe in the value of mental health care for you, your family or organization and have maintained a pricing structure that allows mental health care for all budgets. We do participate in a few different insurance programs.  

We recommend that you contact your insurance company before your visit to verify coverage for the specific service you’re seeking. This will prepare you for any out-of-pocket costs (including co-pays and deductibles) that you might be responsible for.  If you learn that the service you’re seeking is not covered, you can still receive services from us and choose another method of payment.  If Behavioral Mental Health Counseling PLLC is out of network for your insurance, consider asking your insurance company to add us as a participating health care provider to their panel or we can provide you with the necessary paperwork to file a claim with your insurance company for possible third-party reimbursement.

You may also choose not to use your insurance.  There are several reasons for this such as insurance companies often limit the amount of sessions covered within a specific time period; insurance companies mandate a psychiatric diagnosis for billing which you may not want noted in your medical record; insurance companies often have high premiums, deductibles, and/or co-payments which may be higher than our session fee.

If you are not able to keep your scheduled appointment, please be sure to contact us at least 48 hours in advance, otherwise you may be charged for the missed session.
