Our Fees

 

Payment sources

The Oaks Life Center has a fee structure for everyone.  As a training agency, we can also offer a wide range of fees without compromising client care.  Licensed professionals and interns work together to provide the best possible care for each client.

We offer reduced fee counseling starting at $75.00/hour – around the same amount of a typical copay for mental health services.  Fees are based on the experience level of the clinician.  Rates for senior clinicians start at $95.00/session.  We also offer groups and classes that are another cost-efficient way to get the help you are looking for.

It is your responsibility to verify with your insurance carrier that our group is In Network. If you decide to use your insurance, our billing office will submit a claim to your insurance carrier.  When the claim is processed, your insurance company will send you an Explanation of Benefits (EOB).  Please note that the name of the provider on the EOB will be The Oaks Life Center.  For covered services, you will be responsible for anything that is considered patient responsibility, including deductible, co-insurance, etc.  If you have any questions about your benefits, please contact your insurance provider.

Private pay

When you privately pay for your mental health care, no diagnosis is required, and your confidentiality is assured. The cost of care ranges from $75 to $150 per session. Our LCSW, LPC, and LMFTs are $125 per session and $150 for an initial intake assessment. We also have LMSW and LPC-Associates and LMFT-Associates who can accept patients at a reduced fee of $75.00 per session after the initial intake assessment of $125.00. Weekly sessions are often preferred, but meeting less frequently can be economical and ultimately beneficial. A sliding fee is available for those who qualify. When you call The Oaks Life Center for an appointment, we will help you find the therapist at an appropriate rate for your situation.

Insurance- Out-of-Network

Out-of-Network means we are one of these two things:

1.NOT contracted with your insurance company and do not accept your insurance plan. If you are “Out-Of-Network” we are happy to provide you with a “Superbill” receipt to give to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many insurance companies will reimburse 50-80% for out-of-network providers. You are required to pay the session fee upfront in full.

2. We are providers, just not with your particular plan.  You will have a deductible to meet before your insurance plan will pay us.  We will still accept the insurance company’s discounted provider rate. This allows you to still access quality services with the counselor of your choice.  Please contact your insurance company for details as each carrier’s amount of reimbursement may vary by plan.

 

Payment

You will be responsible for ALL co-pays, deductibles and non-covered services. We accept all major credit cards and cash. We do request we keep a credit card on file and, with your permission, will use it to pay what the insurance doesn’t cover. There is a $2.00 fee applied when using a credit card.

Good FAith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your mental health care services.

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 items and services. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.

If you are billed for more than this Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.

You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill or ask if there is financial assistance available.

You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill.

There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay a $100.00 late cancel/no show fee.   Your insurance will not reimburse you for missed appointments.
