APPOINTMENTS, FEES AND INSURANCE

Sessions are by appointment and are normally scheduled for 45 minutes. If you cannot keep your scheduled appointment please give at least 24 hours notice to make a change.

The fee is $175 for the initial evaluation and $150 per session thereafter. Payments in full or insurance co-payments are due at the time services are rendered. Occasionally special pay arrangements may be negotiated on an individual basis.

If you will be accessing out-of-network benefits please call your insurance company in advance to determine your deductible, co-insurance and what portion of the allowable fee they will cover. Dr. Thorpe's billing service can handle the entire submission, as a courtesy, if you prefer.

Dr. Thorpe is currently contracted as an in-network provider for several EAP and Insurance plans. If you are accessing in-network benefits you will want to call your insurance company in advance to determine your benefits including number of sessions allowable per year, co-pay amount, and pre-authorization procedures.

Please call to discuss appointment availability and fees. Dr. Thorpe is typically not available immediately, but will do her best to return daytime calls within a few hours.

PLEASE CALL FOR:

• A complimentary telephone consultation with Dr. Thorpe
• Individual or couples appointment
• Information on resources or referrals
