Payment Options

We acknowledge the challenges of both medical and mental healthcare costs, and the frustration and uncertainty when something as important as our health becomes unaffordable to maintain and/or improve.
By not accepting any insurance plans, we aim to make your mental health care affordable by eliminating surprise bills for services not covered by your insurance plan or for the number of visits that exceed those covered by your insurance. It also allows us to set our rates below the industry standards. We want you to be in control of your mental health, the number of visits you need, and the treatment plan you deserve.

Transparency is one of the principles that guide our practice. For this reason, we offer a detailed break down of our fees and information to answer potential questions.
If our payment options page still leaves you with questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Pay-Per-Session

Pay-per-session visits cover time for medication management with or without psychotherapy, depending on the duration of your session. 1-hour and 45-minute sessions allow adequate time to include psychotherapy during a visit with a purpose to manage your pharmacologic treatment.

45-minutes: $200
30-minutes: $140
15-minutes: $80

Subscription Plans

Subscription plans are an excellent and affordable way to create a budget for your mental health care that will cover several visits per year and allow any additional visits at a lower than the average rate, based on the length of your appointment. They are similar to paying your insurance premiums so that your visits are covered, minus the uncertainty of uncovered services and unexpected bills. Subscription plans also encourage adherence to receiving regular care as opposed to postponing your follow-up appointment because you have had unexpected expenses in a given month. To determine whether subscription plans meet your health and financial needs, it is important that you carefully review and understand what is covered.

Love To People Program*

A total of 1.5 hours per business day starting at 4 pm and ending at 5.30 pm will be reserved for individuals who cannot afford the available payment options.

Only virtual sessions are available for this program.

These appointments cannot be self-scheduled, including the follow-up visits. If you have established care with our practice under this program and need a followup, you may schedule it at the end of your session with the assistance of your provider or by sending a request through your wellness portal.

A 4pm appointment has to be scheduled first. This means that if the whole 1-1/2 hour slot is open, your session has to start at 4pm. You would not be able to schedule between 4.15 pm-5.30 pm if 4 pm has not been booked. This is to allow time for as many individuals as possible who can benefit from this program.

One-hour and/or 45-minute sessions can be scheduled once every three months per established client. This is to allow appointment availability for as many individuals as possible.

Proof of annual income will be requested. Qualifying income will be based on federal guidelines. Personal circumstances may also be considered to determine the cost of your visit.

There will be no cancellation fees for these appointments. However, a minimum of 48-hour cancellation is required to allow other patients time to schedule their appointments.

We reserve the right to terminate services after one no-show or one cancellation with less than a 48-hour notice.

* This program is an attempt to help individuals with low income to gain access and take care of their mental health. It is the provider's own time and initiative. It is subjected to reduced days/times and/or termination if for any reason it becomes unsustainable for the practice, the provider's schedule, or if fraud and abuse of the program is suspected.

Other "Must Know" About Your Payment Options

Understanding our payment plan options before you schedule your initial visit with Peace of Mind CT is very important if you are seeking long-term services. Continuity of care plays a crucial role in your emotional and mental well-being, and switching to a new provider after having established a therapeutic patient-provider relationship can be very disruptive. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to go over our subscription plans and all related policies to determine whether our payment options are affordable for the long-term. If the information we offer on our practice's website still leaves you with questions, please feel free to contact us. Details about our payment plans will also be outlined in the informed consent you will receive should you decide to utilize our services.

If you subscribe to a plan and paying your first session in full is not an option initially but it becomes an option sooner than expected, then you can change your appointment to an earlier date, if there are open time slots.

Once you have had your initial session, there will be no waiting period for scheduling followup sessions other than due to availability of appointments.

Clients subscribed to a plan who need to wait for their first appointment can still schedule it as soon as they subscribe with a request through the mental wellness portal.

Under subscription plan B, you need to have your initial evaluation before you can start psychotherapy-only sessions.

Subscription plan B does not include any psychotherapy-only sessions.

For pay-per-session, initial visits under any plan that can be paid in full before the waiting period, and/or additional "office" visits and psychotherapy-only sessions, payment is submitted at the time you schedule your appointment through your mental wellness portal's calendar.

Additional "office" visits are any appointments that are not included in your subscription plan but are offered at a lower than average rates and are paid separately. "Office" visits usually include medication management but may include brief psychotherapy. However, an "office" visit cannot be scheduled for psychotherapy alone.

Additional psychotherapy-only visits are sessions that are not included in your subscription plan but are offered at a lower than average rates and are paid separately.

Crisis management outside a scheduled visit is a flat rate, regardless of the time spent helping you during a crisis.

A subscription plan is ongoing and does not require a renewal. A reminder will be sent towards the end of what would be your yearly anniversary with Peace of Mind CT, in the event you would like to unsubscribe or switch to another payment plan.

You may switch payment plans only at the 1-year mark.

An ongoing plan also means that from your second year forward, a 60-minute session is covered but can instead be broken down into two 30-minute sessions or a 45-minute and a 15-minute session, if desired. This allows you more sessions within the year at no additional cost!

Under plans that include psychotherapy-only session (A, C and D), the sessions are noted to be monthly. However, you can take advantage of them if you need psychotherapy more than once a month.

Rates applicable at the time you subscribe will remain unchanged for as long as you are under our care. However, if you unsubscribe and there happen to be any new rates at the time you wish to re-subscribe, the new rates will be applied to your plan.

All "office" visits covered under your subscription plan must be scheduled first before you can schedule any additional sessions at a lower than regular rate, unless you are scheduling for psychotherapy-only sessions. This means that if you have had a 30-minute "office" visit and you still have two 30-minute "office" visits covered by your subscription plan, you cannot schedule another 30-minute one at the rate of an additional visit before you have scheduled your two 30-minute visits. However, if you feel you need an "office" visit of a different length before you schedule those under your subscription plan, a pay-per-session rate will apply to that appointment.

All psychotherapy-only sessions covered under your subscription plan must be scheduled before you can schedule one at a lower rate. This means that if you have had six psychotherapy-only sessions and have six more covered by your plan, you would need to schedule those before you can schedule one at a lower rate.

During psychotherapy-only sessions, there will be no medication management. These sessions are a non-pharmacologic intervention. If you express a need to discuss or address your medications, you will be asked to schedule a separate appointment. If you wish to combine psychotherapy and medication management, a 60-minute or a 45-minute "office" visit is recommended as indicated under the payment plan/option you have selected.

Home visit fees help cover travel expenses as well as driving time that could have been used to see another individual and are the same regardless of the payment option you have selected.

Provider-client phone call fees are in place for phone calls of a duration that is close to or goes beyond the time an actual session lasts.

Your provider may be placing wellness calls on occasion that are intended to be five minutes or less. Although your provider will notify you when you are about to exceed the five minutes, it is your responsibility to allow the call to end within 5 minutes. Calls 20 seconds past the 5-minute timeframe will be billed according to provider-client calls under the Standard Fees section.

For cancellations and refunds, please see our policies page.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: If you have your initial visit at the new practice discounted rate, it is non-refundable should you decide to cancel your subscription after the visit.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Should you wish to submit your receipts from our services to your insurance as out-of-network, we can provide you with a superbill to submit, although there may be limitations. As we have set fees for each service that vary based on the payment option you wish to use, there might not be a corresponding billing code that your insurance could use to reimburse you or the same billing code may be applicable for various services that your insurance may not accept since they would expect a different billing code for the type and/or duration of the service you received. If insurance coverage is a necessary factor for pursuing your mental health care with Peace Of Mind CT we strongly advise you to consider the possibility that your insurance plan will not cover all visits or fees, and we recommend consulting with your insurance plan agent about the payment option you are considering for your care with Peace of Mind CT.
