Fees

Charges vary according to the type of services rendered, including diagnostic interview, family therapy, psychological testing, and group therapy. When applicable, your therapist will discuss the cost of testing fees prior to administering the test. Payment is due at the end of each session when services are rendered. We accept cash, personal checks, and Visa or MasterCard credit and debit cards.

If you do not have health insurance and are referred by a church that is part of the Rankin Baptist Association, we offer a discounted fee of $135 Individual and $150 for a family session. Also, the Mississippi Baptist Convention will pay $50 towards each session for pastors and their families.

 

Appointment Cancellation Policy

Twenty-four (24) hour notification is an expected courtesy to the therapist who is reserving time for you and to other clients who are waiting to schedule appointments. You must give a 24-advance notice for cancelled appointments. The advance notice is standard in our profession. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment, it is considered a missed appointment, and you will be responsible for the fees for that session.

If you do miss an appointment without 24-hour notification, you will be charged the entire session fee. If you do not notify us 24-hours in advance when cancelling an appointment, you will be charged the entire session fee. Insurance plans do not pay for such charges. Payment for the missed session must be timely or we cannot continue to schedule appointments.

 

Insurance

Please make your insurance card available for photocopying.

We have counselors that are providers for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi, Federal, AHS State of Mississippi and Aetna.

We will be happy to electronically file your insurance. If you have a different insurance provider, your counselor can give you a receipt so that you may personally file with your insurance provider.

Remember your health insurance is a contract between you and your insurer. Therefore, you are responsible for payment of services rendered regardless if and what amount your insurance company pays.

Some plans require pre-authorization. You are responsible for checking with your insurance provider before the first session to discern if services will be covered.
