Fees and Forms

One of our goals at Next Chapter Counseling  is to make counseling convenient and affordable to as many people as possible whether or not they have insurance. Our fees reflect that intent, and you will find that our charges are comparable to or less than the industry standard for our area.

We accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, and United Health Care insurance benefits. Before beginning your therapy please check your coverage carefully (by calling the number on the back of your insurance card) to answer the following questions:

• Do I have behavioral health benefits?
• What is my deductible?
• Has my deductible been met for the present fiscal year – yes or no?
• If no, how much will I owe per session?
• If yes, do I have a co-pay and how much is it?
• Do I need a referral from my primary care physician?

For self-pay or insurance deductibles/co-pays we accept cash, checks, credit cards, PayPal, Venmo and health savings accounts.

Payment is due at the beginning of each session.  A minimum 24-hour notice is required to change or cancel an appointment. Appointments scheduled for Monday must be changed by 5pm on the preceding Friday. If you do not cancel within that allotted time, or you miss your appointment, you will be responsible for the full cost of the appointment. There will be a $35 charge on returned checks.   Payment for either missed appointment/late cancellation or returned checks must be received prior to scheduling another appointment.

Please complete these forms and bring them to your first session if possible:

• Informed Consent for Treatment
• Registration
• Financial Agreement  
• Authorization to Bill Insurance Company
• Late Cancellation Letter
• Communication Policies
• Notices of Privacy Practices
