Hospital Privileges
The client is responsible for payment of counseling and other services utilized.Dr. Fuller accepts check, credit card (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, and Discover), or cash for payment.
SELF-PAY: Many clients chose to pay for counseling on their own instead of using their health insurance.This choice has several benefits including a $10 discount for each session.In order to bill your insurance, a diagnosis must be submitted to your insurance company.Sometimes, such a diagnosis may affect your current or future health insurance coverage.
Others chose to pay the fee for counseling up front in order to get the $10 discount, and then submit the receipt to their own insurance company themselves.The company then reimburses them for the counseling.As long as you keep a “$0” balance, the discount will be applied to all sessions.
INSURANCE:If you choose, we can file your insurance claim for you; however, the discount will not apply.After you have met your deductible for your specific plan at the listed fees, then you will only be responsible for the co-payment (deductible and co-pays vary according to insurance plans and coverage).If we have not already verified your benefits, this can be done before your second session as long as you have accurately completed the intake form.
