If you are uninsured, or opt out of using your insurance benefits, our office offers private pay rates for your discretion. With Private Pay arrangements, our office will not file a claim to your insurance provider for the counseling services. Our private pay rate is determined by the services you are needing, and the degree, license, and experience of each counselor. The costs per session for each of our providers can be given upon request. Call (210) 614-4990 for more information.
Many insurance carriers provide coverage and benefits for outpatient mental health services and psychological evaluations provided by our center. Limitations or supporting documentation may vary by insurance policy. Our office staff will work closely with you to review your policy and to identify any services that will not be covered by your insurance company.
All co-payments and deductibles must be paid at the time of service and will be determined based on your individual insurance policy. Keep in mind that your medical insurance represents a contract between you and the carrier, not between the carrier and us.
Our office will submit a claim on your behalf for all services rendered. If your insurance fails to pay, then you remain responsible for all fees. Please remember that this, in no way, removes your obligation to pay any fees, or portion of fees not paid by your insurance carrier.
No Show’s and Cancellations: If you do not show up for your appointment or you do not provide us at least 24 hours notice of your cancellation, you will be required to pay the cancellation fee prior to the next session. This fee is not covered by insurance and is the sole responsibility of the client to pay out of pocket.

Out of Network Insurance
If your insurance carrier is not listed on our current list of in network insurance carriers, we can still offer you services and help you with billing your insurance carrier as an out of network provider. There is always a way to follow out of network protocol with your provider and we can help. Please note, in most cases, you will be responsible for paying all fees associated with the service upfront and then we will provide you with the documentation needed to be reimbursed by your insurance carrier.
