Rates & Insurance

Rates

Rates vary with the type of programming you enroll in. We honor the rates paid by Dane County for comparable services for any person who has been served by us via our contract with DCHS at any time in their life (even as adults). We also can share a sliding scale upon request and will do our best to accommodate special needs about the funding of services.

Session length depends on individual needs and ranges from a single-hour consultation to an immersion weekend which includes multiple sessions for those traveling from out of town.

Bob and Nikki believe the services they offer should be available to people from all walks of life so a sliding scale is available to clients who pay out of pocket. If this scale is still not affordable please speak with Nikki so she can help you explore options.

Insurance

Bob & Nikki are both network providers for CLTS & CCF programs available via County Human Services.

Nikki is not currently an eligible provider for local HMO plans, but can often be covered if you have a plan that allows you to see out-of-network providers. Due to the specialized nature of services you may be able to attain a single case agreement.

Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Am I required to see an in-network provider?

Payment
Payment by cash or check is due at each session unless you purchase a multi-session package. We have considered accepting credit and debit cards but would need to raise rates to cover the cost. This policy helps us provide services on a sliding scale that's more affordable.

Cancellation Policy
If you do not show up for your scheduled appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay 50% of the usual rate for the time booked. Repeat cancellations tend to carry a message that one should pay attention to so we will ask to explore possible meta-messages embedded within your choice to cancel sessions repeatedly.
