Fees:
Clients who work the therapeutic
process usually consider psychotherapy well worth the investment
of time and money. Individual therapy sessions start on time and
are 45 to 50 minutes long. The out of pocket cost ranges from
$0.00 to $150.00 per session, depending on insurance coverage,
income level, and so on. Fees are dictated by the agreement
between the Center, consultant and insurance company. For
example, a typical agreement would allow Apex to charge a $20.00
co-pay, and the insurance company would pay the "negotiated
provider fee," typically between $50.00 and $90.00 per session.
Although we do not offer garage sale rates where psychotherapy
prices are negotiable, we offer flexibility with our fee
structure. One consultant accepts $60.00 per session for self
pay clients while another charges full fee.
We participate with MEDICAID, MEDICARE, and most major insurance
programs. If payment is an issue, please talk with us about it
and we will work with you to create a "win-win" strategy. Our
goal is to help you simplify and get control of your life, not
to add to your stress by creating financial hardship.
Finally, if you have no insurance coverage, you may be eligible
for "gray zone coverage," a Maryland state program that pays for
psychological treatment if you meet certain criteria.
