OUR POLICIES
THERAPY PROCESS
Our team of counselors work closely with you to listen to your needs and goals for therapy. We believe that you are the expert on you, so we work collaboratively to gain insight into the patterns that are causing discomfort and work together to provide resources to help change those patterns to meet your goals.
RATES
Please talk with your individual counselor, and they can discuss rates for therapy. Our rates range from $75-175. We offer a select number of reduced fee slots on our caseloads. Our masters level counseling interns are able to offer sessions at a greatly reduced fee.
All clients are required to have a credit card on file. Payment is expected at the time of treatment. If payment is not received within 30 days, the therapist reserves to right to terminate therapy.
INSURANCE
Although Steady Hope does not accept insurance in network, we are happy to provide you with the necessary paperwork to file for out of network benefits. Contact your insurance company to ask about out of network benefits for mental health.
Additionally, we have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you may choose to only have to pay your co-insurance for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions. Thrizer will submit superbills on your behalf and assist with the out of network processing for you.
We are able to take Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flex Spending Accounts (FSA). We can work with you to determine what will work best for you.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Please provide at least 24 business hours (M-F) notice for canceling sessions. As discussed during your intake session, your counselor sets aside time and prepares to be with you for your session, thus you will be responsible for the full payment of the session fee if you cancel with less than 48 business hours notice or if you no-show to the session.
HIPAA AND CONSENT TO TREATMENT
We strive to keep you fully informed of every part of your therapeutic experience with Steady Hope in accordance with HIPAA regulations.
NO SURPRISES ACT
We adhere to the no surprises act, also known as balance billing in regard to insurance reimbursement and billing for services.
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
