Emergency?

Every patient's billing, like every patient's treatment, is unique. There are many insurance companies, and many different plans within those companies. Each insurance plan has its own special quirks and exceptions. There are variations in the number of visits allowed per year, the amount of co-payment required, and how much of your history your insurance company will demand to know before paying their share of the bill. Click this link for a list of the insurance companies that we do business with.

As a courtesy to our patients, we bill most insurance plans, including secondary coverage. Though we try to verify benefits prior to your first visit, please be aware that information about your coverage does not guarantee payment.

Co-Payment

Co-pays are due at the time of your visit. We accept VISA and Mastercard. It is definitely best to stay current, but other arrangements can be made if necessary.

Statements

Statements are sent monthly unless you have a zero balance. Statements will indicate if your insurance has been billed, and how much has been paid. Most insurance companies take 4 - 8 weeks to process and pay claims.

If you're without insurance, or choose not to use it, payment in full is expected at the time of service. Special payment plans can be made by talking with our billing department before your appointment.

If you miss or cancel an appointment with less than a 24-hour notice, you will be billed at your regular rate. Insurance plans do not cover these charges. We realize, of course, that serious emergencies occur; let your therapist and our billing department know if such a situation occurred.

Individual therapy includes medical evaluation and management.

Still Have A Question?

Don't hesitate to call our billing department at 503-315-8646. Though payment for therapy is your responsibility, we'll assist you in your efforts to pay your bill.

We know how complicated insurance coverage can be, so please let us know if we can help you understand your billing.
