The fee for an initial visit is $155. The standard fee for follow-up sessions is $135.
Fees for additional services, such as testing, evaluations, biofeedback training, and
clinical hypnosis may vary. Each individual is encouraged to discuss costs for additional
services with the support staff prior to delivery of the services. Business consultation
services are delivered only after a formal fee agreement has been established with the
individual psychologist who will provide the services.

Payment is expected at the time services are rendered. Individuals who have insurance
plans are responsible for any co-payment amount and any unsatisfied deductible required by
their insurance plan. When more than one insurance company is involved, there is often no
direct payment from the individual receiving services (except for annual deductibles).
Reports, test results and medical records are not released prior to payment for services.
Co-payments and balances may be paid with Visa® or MasterCard®.

The psychologists on staff at BMS are all eligible to receive third party reimbursement
from insurance companies; however, not all psychologists are on all insurance panels.
The support staff attempts to check insurance benefits and help, if possible,
with managed care authorization prior to the first visit. Managed care agencies
(HMO, PPO, etc.) often require the individual to contact their primary care physician
or the insurance company for referral and pre-authorization. An appointment will not
be given unless the individual has been made aware of the fees and agrees to assume
responsibility for payment of services even when third party payers such as insurance
companies have agreed to pay.
