FEES AND PAYMENT POLICIES

Fayetteville Psychotherapy Associates, PLC, is committed to providing quality psychotherapy services. Each therapist has established his or her fees in keeping with their individual training and experience as well as the fees generally charged by providers in the northwest Arkansas area.

Each therapist practices independently and charges based upon his or her own individual fee schedule. When scheduling your first session, please feel free to inquire about the fees of the specific therapist you have chosen. Generally:

The fee for a 50-minute session ranges from $100 to $150.

The fee for an initial (Intake) session ranges from $150 to $225.

Fees for other services are available upon request.

We do not offer sliding-scale fees or payment plans for therapy services.

Payment:
Payment of all applicable copays, deductibles and fees is due at the time of service.

Our office accepts payment by Cash, Check, Visa, and MasterCard credit or debit cards.

Insurance Filing
Most insurance policies provide at least some coverage for mental health benefits. To assist you in accessing our services, our providers participate in a number of major insurance networks and we will file insurance on your behalf for your visits at your request. However, it is important to remember that you are resonsible for:

Obtaining the initial referral to your therapist (when required by your insurance plan).

Obtaining pre-certification/authorization for visits (when required by your insurance plan).

Keeping track of your benefit limits

Paying all deductibles, co-pays, and other charges not covered by your insurer.

Informing our office of any changes to your insurance coverage

Payment of all charges not reimbursed by your insurance carrier. (We will work with you and your insurer to resolve any claim denials, but payment of all fees for services is ultimately your responsibility.)

To see some of the insurance networks our providers participate in, please visit our insurance page.

We highly recommend that if you are planning to use your insurance benefits for your visits that you contact your insurer prior to your first visit to determine the specifics of your policy. You may print our "Checking Your Benefits" worksheet to help you in asking pertinent questions about your coverage when you contact your insurer.

Cancellations/Missed Appointments

The scheduling of an appointment exclusively reserves your therapist's time to meet with you.

If you fail to cancel an appointment or you miss your appointment, we are unable to offer your reserved time to another patient. Missed appointments or appointments cancelled for non-emergency reasons with less than 24 hours notice will be billed at the full session rate directly to the patient. (Insurance companies do not pay for missed sessions.)

Returned Checks/Denied Credit Card Charges

A $25.00 fee will be charged for all returned checks. Patients are responsible for promptly making valid payment on any returned check or denied credit card charge.
