Services Offered & Fees
I currently offer in person individual and couples therapy to adults.
INSURANCE:
I am a provider for BCBS and MVP Insurance companies until December 31, 2024.
If you have BCBS or MVP, I will accept the fees that they pay me and whatever your copay is. If you don’t have insurance or choose not to use your insurance, my fees until 12/31/25 are:
Initial Consultation: $175
Individual Counseling (45-60 minutes): $150
Couples Counseling (45-60 minutes): $150
Couples Counseling (90-120 minutes): $300
Clinical Supervision (60 minutes): $150
Missed or Late Cancel Appointment: $100
Beginning January 1st, 2025 I will no longer accept any insurance and will be considered “out-of-network” for all insurance.
If you have out-of-network benefits, I am happy to help you to get reimbursed for the fees paid to me by submitting a “superbill” to your insurance.
After January 1st, 2025 my fees will be as follows:
Initial Consultation: $200
Individual Counseling (In person 45-60 minutes): $175
Couples Counseling (In person 45-60 minutes): $175
Couples Counseling (90- 120 minutes): $300
Clinical Supervision (45-60 minutes): $150
Missed or Late Cancel Appointment: $150
You’ll need to pay me directly for each session (see fees above) at the time of your session. I am happy to work with you to accommodate your finances and will work on a sliding fee scale.
Speak to your HR or call your insurance company to determine if you have any “out-of-network” benefits.
Generally, I meet weekly with clients for 6-12 sessions and then move to every other week as needed.
SLIDING FEE:
As always, I have a sliding fee scale and I am happy to work with you to accommodate your needs/finances.
ALL FEES/COPAYS:
All copays and fees are due at the time of your session. The easiest way to pay for your session is with Venmo (@Barbara-Boutsikaris), cash, Zelle or a check. If you would like to pay by credit card (including some HSA accounts), there is an additional 3.75% charge.
CANCELLATION FEE:
As of 1/1/25 there will be a $150 cancelation/no show fee (canceling with less than 24 hours notice or for not showing up for your appointment.) If you cancel with less than 24 hours and I am able to fill the spot with another client or if you can reschedule with me for the same week, you will not need to pay the cancelation fee. If I am unable to fill the spot with another client or if you can not reschedule within the same week, you will be responsible for paying the cancelation fee before your next scheduled appointment.
TELEVIDEO (REMOTE):
I only offer Televideo (remote) sessions for emergencies or for sickness only.
Couples sessions are only held in person.
Telephone/Texting Support: Free (up to 15 minutes)
BILLING:
I currently do my own billing. I use a billing software called My Clients Plus to submit my claims to insurance companies. This software is HIPAA compliant and all information is SSL-encrypted.
All accounts are payable in full within 30 days after billing. I reserve the right to collect any unpaid balance due to me. If you are not making regular monthly payments on the account balance, I may use a collection agency or take legal action to secure payment, as authorized by state or federal law, and the collections action will become a part of your credit record. You will be notified in writing before I take action to collect. I reserve the right to terminate treatment and refer you elsewhere for continued care if the unpaid balance exceeds $300.00.
HOURS:
I work Monday through Friday from 10am-5pm and primarily see clients in-person.
At this time I will only do a televideo session if you aren’t feeling well or in an emergency.
All televideo sessions can be accessed through the following link: https://sessions.psychologytoday.com/Barbara-Boutsikaris
