[dropcap color=”red”]M[/dropcap]y psychotherapy fee is $175 for a “fifty-minute hour”. I am considered an “out-of-network” provider for HMO or PPO insurance plans, such as Humana, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Bluegrass Family Health, etc. If you would like to use your insurance benefits, please call the mental health/substance abuse phone number or general information phone number printed on the back of your insurance card. Ask the representative about your “outpatient psychotherapy” benefits, including whether or not you have out-of-network coverage, deductibles, whether you have met any of your deductible this year, number of sessions allowed, how much of the fee they will pay, and if preauthorization is required prior to your first session. If you do not have out-of-network coverage, your insurance will not cover any of my fee.

Through generous donations from local churches and individuals, Interfaith Counseling Center offers scholarship funds for clients who are unable to pay the full fee. By completing a Fee Reduction Form, you may qualify for a fee as low as $110 an hour, depending on family size, income, and financial situation.

The Interfaith Counseling Center accepts cash or checks; however, the ICC does not accept credit or debit cards. We ask that you pay your full fee at each visit. If you would like to use your insurance benefits, we can provide you with a form that you can mail into your insurance company. Unfortunately, medical insurance rarely covers marital counseling. If you have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) through your employer, it might pay completely for several sessions of marital or individual counseling. Please contact your employer’s Human Resources department for more information.
