Our fee for the initial 75-minute counseling session is $165-$490, depending on which counselor you choose.
Following the initial appointment, the fee is $100 -$295 per therapy hour (45-minute session) depending on which counselor you choose. Standard session times are 45-minute, 60-minute, or 75-minute.
The length of session time is based on the course of treatment and will be discussed with the client during the initial session. This will be revisited with the counselor during the subsequent appointments.
Pathways Counseling Services knows that proper mental health care begins with a comprehensive assessment. Our expert staff dedicates a great amount of time and resources to their patients. This personal approach allows Pathways Counseling Services counselors to customize treatment plans to the unique needs of each client using a variety of methods and techniques.
We want you to make an informed choice of counselors. Each of our counselors has a biography about their experience, their areas of expertise and what types of treatment methods they utilize. All of this is to allow you, the client, to know more about who you will be working with.
In order to provide this level of care and expertise, patients of Pathways Counseling Services pay for their visit in full prior to the time of their appointment.
We do not accept insurance, although we can provide you with a detailed form, called a Super Bill. This will allow you to submit our charges for possible reimbursement should you have any out-of-network mental health benefits through your insurance plan. Because of the number of insurance companies and various plans available, we recommend you contact your insurance provider in regards to what kind of out of network services are reimbursed.
If you have questions about our payment policies, please contact us.
Under the Federal No Surprises Act, you are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate. This estimate is designed to provide you with an anticipated cost for healthcare services. This is specifically focusing on psychotherapy in this context. It acknowledges the inherent difficulty in predicting the exact course and duration of therapy needed for an individual. The intent is to offer a preliminary overview of potential expenses.
The Good Faith Estimate provides an anticipated cost based on available information. It does not account any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. In instances where actual costs exceed the estimate by $400 or more for any service, you have protection under federal law to dispute the billing.
This process involves contacting the provider or facility to discuss the discrepancy. You may seek an adjustment, negotiate the bill, or exploring financial assistance options. You have the right to initiate a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) within 120 days of receiving the original bill.
For more information about your rights under the Good Faith Estimate or the dispute resolution process, resources are available at www.cms.gov/nosurprises. You may also inquire through email at FederalPPDRQuestions@cms.hhs.gov, or by phone at 800-985-3059.
