Clinic Fees Hourly rates apply to initial sessions, psychotherapy, in-person or telephone consultations, record review, school visits, report writing, and consultation with other professionals. There is a two-hour minimum for school visits. Our intake appointments are typically 90 minutes. When we are unable to schedule a 90 minute opening, we will often schedule either a 45 or 60 minute session. Most therapy sessions are 45 minutes, although we frequently see clients for 60 minutes, depending on need and availability.

Standard Neuropsychological / Psychoeducational Test Battery for ADHD / LD (for Children, Teens, College Students, and Adults)
The testing fees listed above are for a standard ADHD/LD test battery, which does not include personality or projective testing. If personality or projective testing is necessary, additional charges will apply for this testing, at the clinician’s hourly rate. Dr. Van Ost has a different fee schedule, which can be found on her page.
Cancellation Policies Counseling/psychotherapy appointments must be canceled more than 24 hours in advance, except in the case of true emergency. Our full, standard fee will be charged for last minute cancellations that are not due to a true emergency. In the unlikely event that we are able to fill this time with another appointment, you will not be charged for a last minute cancellation. Testing appointments must be canceled at least 5 business days in advance, except in the case of true emergencies. Testing cancellations made less than 5 days in advance will result in a charge of $400. Our psychologists set aside many hours in their schedule to accommodate testing, and this fee only partially reimburses them for their time. Fee increases During the course of treatment, it may become necessary to increase fees. Fees will be reviewed periodically and will be increased no more than once during any calendar year. Fee reductions The Center does not have a sliding fee scale; however, each associate, at her/his own discretion, may agree to reduced fees under certain circumstances, such as sudden unemployment, loss of health insurance, etc., that occur during the course of treatment. Such fee reductions should be documented in writing with a signed agreement kept in your records to avoid misunderstanding about fees and payment schedule. Payment for Services Payment is due in full at the time of service. Payment can be made by check, cash, or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express). Chesapeake Center reserves the right to charge 1.5% monthly interest on any outstanding balance beyond 30 days. Insurance Coverage for Services The Chesapeake Center does not accept direct insurance payment for services and does not participate in any insurance provider network. Our services are covered by most health insurance plans that cover out-of-network providers. It is the responsibility of the client to communicate directly with his or her insurance company regarding coverage or reimbursement issues. Financial Statements Monthly statements, appropriate for submission to insurance companies, reflecting all charges, payments, diagnostic codes, and procedure codes, are provided. These statements will be mailed to the address provided, unless you request otherwise. |
