Rates & Insurance
Embrace the path to healing with the compassionate support of A Different Path Mental Wellness. We look forward to working with you.
At A Different Path Mental Wellness, we opt for a self-pay model to provide you with the highest quality of care. Self-Pay is a way to remit payment for therapy services without involving insurance companies. There are some surprising benefits to Self-Pay that are explained below. Upon request, your provider will happily provide you with the necessary paperwork (called a superbill) to send to your insurance for reimbursement. Obviously, insurance reimbursement is not guaranteed but can be helpful in covering the cost of therapy.
Why Self-Pay?
Greater Flexibility and Personalization
- Customized Treatment: Without the constraints of insurance company guidelines, we can tailor your therapy to your unique needs and preferences. This means more focus on what truly matters to you, rather than adhering to predetermined treatment protocols.
- No Session Limits: Insurance plans often limit the number of sessions you can have and the amount of time your therapist can spend with you. With self-pay, you have the freedom to engage in as many sessions as you need to achieve your goals, ensuring a more comprehensive and effective therapeutic process.
- Unbiased Care: By not working with insurance companies, our therapists are not influenced by insurance constraints. This means we can focus entirely on providing the best possible care without worrying about insurance approvals or restrictions.
Privacy and Confidentiality
- Enhanced Privacy: When you use insurance, your diagnosis and treatment details become part of your medical record, which can be accessed by others within the insurance company. Self-pay ensures that your personal health information remains private, with no third-party access or interference.
- Discretion: With Self-Pay, providers do not have to diagnose you. If you want to understand how your symptoms might fit into a diagnosis, our providers are capable of explaining that diagnosis and its implications to you, however that information will remain between you and the therapist.
Clear and Transparent Costs
- Upfront Pricing: Self-pay offers clear and straightforward pricing. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for each session without hidden costs or surprise bills. This transparency helps you budget effectively for your mental health care.
Out-of-Network Coverage
We encourage clients to utilize their out of network benefits and get reimbursed by their insurance company.
We accept CareCredit and HSA/FSA/HRA funds as forms of payment.
Cancellations and No Show Policy
The time for your testing or therapy appointment is reserved specifically for you. When clients cancel within 24-hours or no show, other clients miss out on an opportunity to be seen.
Therapy appointments: We understand that things can arise that make appointments difficult to keep. Providing 24 hours notice of cancellations might allow us to offer someone else your spot, however, we encourage you to call our office at any point if you think you might not be able to keep your appointment so we can work together to determine an alternative time or modality for your session.
If you fail to attend your appointment without notice, we will charge $100 to your credit card on file.
Psychological Testing: All assessments must be paid in full within 24 hours of the scheduled assessment time. If we have not received payment within 24 hours, we will notify you of the need for payment. Failure to remit payment at the time of notification will result in cancellation of your appointment.
If you fail to attend your scheduled assessment, the assessment will be rescheduled for an alternative date. Failure to attend two scheduled assessment times will result in a $200 charge due in advance of scheduling another appointment.
