Fees and Insurance Reimbursement
Payment Options: We accept credit cards, checks, and cash.
We are not providers for any insurance plans. We provide monthly statements with the information that insurance companies request for those who are submitting for reimbursement.
One advantage to accepting credit cards is that clients with PPO plans have a window of time submit to insurance plans in order to receive reimbursement.
Complimentary Phone Consultation
Spencer provides a complimentary ten-minute telephone consultation for individuals or couples who are thinking about starting therapy. Elisabeth does not provide complimentary consultations.

Insurance Reimbursement
Many of our services generally qualify for reimbursement under most insurance plans. Elisabeth and Spencer do not directly accept insurance payments. We can, however, provide consultation on how to bill plans for reimbursement directly to the policy-holder. We will also provide an invoice for use with flexible spending plans.
Cancellation Policy
There is no fee for appointments that are cancelled within 24 hours. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice have a $95 fee. Appointments cancelled 10 minutes after the session begins have a $130 fee. Appointments that are missed without cancellation have a $175 fee. If the public schools are closed for weather or any other emergency, there is no cancellation fee as long as the appointment has been cancelled.
