Documentation Fee – $150.00-$200 per hour, 30-minute minimum

This fee is to compensate your therapist for the time invested in completing forms on your behalf (e.g. FMLA, Disabiity, Hospitals, Insurance, etc.).


Court Testimony or Appearance Fees:

Please note that NPCS providers DO NOT perform court evaluations nor do they voluntarily appear in court on behalf of individuals, children, or families. In the event that it is legally required by court order/subpoena to participate in any legal proceedings, a $2,000 retainer fee will be charged to cover required services, which are billed at $250 per hour:


• Preparation and submission of records

• Consultations with other professionals involved in the case

• Travel time to/from court-related activities

• Any other court-related services provided



PAYMENT FORMS ACCEPTED:

Cash, Zelle, Check or Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and HSA credit cards) are accepted. Payment is due at the time of service.



At NPCS, we do not want quality therapy to be cost-prohibitive for those in need. If your financial situation would require a reduced-fee, please discuss this possibility your specific provider.

Insurance Information

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by calling the member services number on your insurance card and asking the following questions:


  • Do I have mental health benefits?
  • What is my deductible and has it been met?
  • How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
  • How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
  • Is a pre-authorization required from the insurance company?


Good Faith Estimates

 Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 
  •  You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 
  •  Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
  •  If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.  
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-877-696-6775.

Be assured that there is no suprise billing from NPCS. We do not offer any additional services beyond what is listed in "Our Rates" section above (with the exception of our documentation fees and court-appearance fees which are listed in our intake paperwork) and therefore you will be not be billed for anything beyond the fees as described. If any new billable services are offered beyond what has been described, you will be given an estimate for your approval before that service is provided.
