Dr. Rosenberg’s standard fee for service is $175.00 per 50 minute session unless a sliding scale fee has been established.
If you are paying out of pocket for psychotherapy services, payment is requested at time of service. For those who are insured, I will provide a summary statement identifying diagnosis and session payments so that you can seek reimbursement of your therapy costs. Many insurance plans will cover between 50% to 80% of your bill and will often limit the total number of sessions they will cover per year. You can consult a representative of your plan to find out exactly what your mental health benefit is.
The fee for service will be assessed and discussed every six months and may be raised by $10.00 per session. If your account has not been paid for more than 60 days and arrangement for payment have not been agreed upon, Dr. Rosenberg has the option of using legal means to secure the payment, including hiring a collection agency or going through small claims court. If such legal action is necessary, its costs will be included in the claim. In most collection situations, the only information that is released regarding a client’s treatment is his/her name, the nature of the services provided, and the amount due.
The hourly rate will be applied on a pro-rated basis toward phone contact exceeding 15 minutes. Please notify Dr. Rosenberg should a problem arise during the course of your treatment that affects your ability to make payments.
Dr. Rosenberg does not accept insurance coverage for payment for services except ComPsych EAP. You will be provided with a bill for therapy services received and you may submit your statement to your insurance provider as an "out of network provider."
You should be aware that submitting a mental health invoice for reimbursement may carry a certain amount of risk to confidentiality, privacy, or to future capacity to obtain health or life insurance.
The risk stems from the fact that mental health information is entered into insurance company databases and may also be reported to a National Medical Data Bank. Insurance companies ask that the client’s mental health diagnosis be provided in the invoice.
Not all issues which are the focus of psychotherapy are reimbursed by insurance companies. It is your responsibility to verify the specifics of your coverage. Missed or cancelled sessions are NOT covered by insurance companies and will be billed to you, unless there are extenuating circumstances.
When you schedule an appointment, this time is reserved specifically for you. If you cancel or reschedule an appointment with less than 48 hours notice, or if you miss an appointment without such notice, you will be obligated to pay the usual fee for the time that was reserved for you. You may cancel an appointment seven days a week, 24-hours a day, by calling (650) 269-7514. Please leave a clear message stating that you wish to cancel your appointment along with a phone number where you can be reached.
