Fees
Each session costs $100, including intake (first session), individual
counseling, play therapy, parent sessions, and family sessions.
Payment is due at the time of each session unless otherwise
discussed. Cash or checks are accepted.
Insurance
Willow Counseling Services currently accepts most PPO insurance plans.
These plans will usually allow you to choose an out-of-network provider
for behavioral health services. WCS handles all insurance claims
for you.
To find out information for your specific
insurance plan:
1) Call the number on your insurance card.
2) Ask if you have out-of-network behavioral health
coverage.
If the answer is yes, ask what your deductible is. Then ask what
your coverage is after you meet your deductible.
If the answer is no, you can choose between finding an in-network
provider or paying out-of-pocket. Your network provider list can
usually be accessed through your insurance company's website or in a
hardcopy sent to you in the mail.
Medicaid is not currently accepted.
Out-of-pocket
You may choose to pay for counseling
services out-of-pocket, which simply means that you are solely
responsible for the entire fee, and that your claims will not be sent
in to your insurance company. For some families, this is the
preferred method of payment. It allows families to retain control
of the privacy of their mental health information.
You and/or your child's treatment information and DSM-IV diagnosis are
accessible by your insurance company if claims are filed. They
have the right to review any information pertinent to the treatment
plan in order to determine reimbursement. You have the right to
choose not to involve the insurance company in your treatment.
