Cancellation Policy - Mutual Respect of Time

We have a firm cancellation policy to respect both your time and the availability of our therapists. If you need to cancel a session, please do so at least 48 hours in advance. Failure to cancel within this timeframe will result in a late cancellation or no-show fee. This policy can be found in your informed consent paperwork. Cancellation or No Show Fees: If you cancel without a 48 hour notice or no-show your appointment, you will be charged $100 fee.

First Time Appointments:

If you late cancel or no-show your first appointment, additional bookings will not be accepted.

Basic Medical Records Request Fee: $50

Please be advised that a fee of $50 per hour will be charged for the preparation and electronic delivery of medical records to a third party. This fee covers the time required to compile and send copies of your records and does NOT include services such as completing medical or legal forms (e.g., FMLA paperwork) or extended phone consultations. This fee is charged for compiling and sending your medical records to a third-party. You will be requried to sign a Release of Information form prior to release of any medical record.

Documentation Fees: $150.00 per hour, billed in one-hour increments.

Please note that additional charges may apply for services outside of standard billing or treatment purposes. This includes, but is not limited to, completing questionnaires, writing letters, conducting extended phone consultations, or processing lenghtly medical record requests. These fees compensate your therapist for the time spent completing forms or documentation on your behalf (e.g., FMLA, disability, hospital, insurance forms, etc.). The fee for such documentation is $150.00 per hour, billed in one-hour increments with a minimum charge of one hour.

Court Testimony or Appearance Fees:

Please note that our 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 $4,000 non refundable retainer fee will be charged. This fee is required upfront at the time of reservation to clear my schedule for legal depositions, court testimony, proceedings, or related meetings. Any additional time beyond the initial block will be billed in further 4-hour increments at a rate of $500 per hour. This fee is required upfront at the time of reservation to clear my schedule for legal depositions, court testimony, proceedings, or related meetings. See your informed consent for more details.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Payment is due at the time of service. You may pay with any major debit/credit card, FSA/HSA card. We do accept several major insurnace plans. You are responsible for understanding your benefits & coverage.

  • We are primarity a self-pay practice. However, Elizabeth can accept Cigna & Aetna insurance plans in Texas and several major insurnace plans in Washington: including:

    • AETNA

    • CIGNA

    • CIGNA EAP

    • KAISER PERMANENTE

    • KAISER PERMANENTE NORTHWEST

    • REGENCE

    • UNITED HEALTHCARE

    • UNITED HEALTHCARE EAP

  • We bring this up because this is something we hear often from many people who have felt pulled to therapy for a while but aren’t sure if they actually need it. If you have been going back and forth for a while on whether or not you need it, it might be worth it to give it a shot.

    If you have ever felt anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, stressed, dealing with relationship or family difficulties, problems with boundaries, trauma or a difficult life experience, or grief, then therapy might be right for you. And if you’ve never dealt with any of these issues, please tell us your secret.

  • We wish there was a more clearcut answer but it is different for everyone and it depends on many factors. Typically clients are in therapy 1-3 months, 3-6 months, or 6-12 months. For couples I try and keep sessions between 6-10 sessions maximum. Additional sessions may be needed depending on the complexity of the case. Elizabeth can discuss this in more detail with you at anytime during your counseling.

  • You must cancel within 48 hours of your session time, or you may be charged the full rate of your session. This allows us to offer the time slot to someone else who may want it. You can call 325-261-8360 or email at admin@acadiapsychotherapy.com to cancel. We try to respect your time and ask the same in return. We appreciate your understanding with our cancellation policy.

NO SURPRISES ACT

NO SURPRISES ACT
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.

All clients receive a GFE during their intake paperwork. My rates are straightforward and will always be listed on my website for transparency.
