Fees for Services

Meaningful Change: Clinical & Consultation Psychology contracts with a number of insurance companies in addition to accepting direct pay from clients.

No Surprise Act

Enacted in January of 2022, the “No Surprise Act” requires that patients who pay directly for services, or those who receive services from out-of-network providers, be given a good faith estimate (GFE) for the anticipated cost of services. The law is intended to protect patients from unanticipated expenses within a treatment facility. The GFE is provided at the outset of services and whenever there are changes to a treatment plan that may affect the duration of care. If GFE documentation has not been provided to you by your treatment provider in a timely fashion, please notify them without delay, or contact our office directly. The NSA does not apply to clients utilizing insurance and seeing in-network providers. The comprehensive details about the NSA can be found here: https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises

Income-based Fees for Service

Meaningful Change: Clinical & Consultation Psychology endeavors to accommodate income-based fees for clients who are financially unable to afford services at the standard rates. These reduced rates are based on monthly household income and apply to psychotherapy, assessment, counseling, and medication management services, but not for professional consultation services. Details of this process can be found here.

Bills, Invoices & Receipts

In our efforts to burden clients with financial complexities as little as possible, Meaningful Change: Clinical & Consultation Psychology utilizes a minimal contact, and paperless model for billing.  The practice requires that a credit, debit, or flex spending/HSA card is kept in our secure electronic record for billing purposes. When insurance claims are processed, any fees you have incurred, which may include deductible costs or co-pays, are billed to the card on file. This is also true for direct pay expenses, cancellation fees, or any administrative costs. As such you will not receive routine bills, invoices, or receipts from us. A comprehensive billing history may be found in your patient portal.

Since most of our clients track their expenses online, we have found this to be a minimalistic and effective model. However, if you would like a physical invoice or receipt, please feel free to request one from our administrative staff via support@meaningfulchange.com.
