Fees

Initial Phone Consultation

CHERIISH Counseling offers a free initial 20 minute phone consultation. This opportunity allows us to explore your goals for therapy and determine whether our approach is the best fit for you. If you’d like to get scheduled for a consultation, complete our new client inquiry form and we will be in touch!

If, during the consultation, we determine that another approach would best support your needs, we will offer you referral information for some other providers.

Insurance

We are in-network with the following insurance carriers:

• Aetna
• Blue Cross Blue Shield
• Moda
• Kaiser Permanente
• Pacific Source
• Providence

We are out of network with all other insurance carriers . CHERIISH’s standard out of pocket rate is $200 per session. For clients accessing out-of-network benefits, we can provide a Superbill for you to pursue reimbursement from your insurance carrier.  If you are not accessing in-network or out-of-network insurance benefits, you qualify for our 25% no paperwork hassle discount, which reduces the total cost to $150 per session. We also reserve a limited number of openings for reduced rate ($100/session) and pro bono clients.

Payments and Cancellations

Payment is due at the time of service. CHERIISH Counseling currently accepts major credit cards, including HSA and FSA cards.

If you miss a scheduled session or have not cancelled with at least 24 hours notice, you will be charged a $90 no show/late cancellation fee.

Good Faith Estimate

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
