Dr. Randi Fredricks, Ph.D. Fees and Insurance
Fees for Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy
Charges are $175.00 per 45-minute therapy session for individual, couples, and family therapy.
Longer sessions are available on an as needed basis.
Payment
Fees are due at the beginning of each session. Check, cash, and credit card (Visa and MasterCard) payments are accepted.
Some people find it convenient to pay a month in advance.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please do so by phone by calling 408-315-0645 with 48 hours notice before
your scheduled appointment time. This allows my office time to offer
that hour to someone else. If you do not show for your appointment, or if you cancel or reschedule
without 48 hours notice by calling 408-315-0645, you will be charged the regular fee for that hour.
Please note that as a general policy that most insurance and managed health care providers do not reimburse
for missed or canceled sessions.
Insurance
Dr. Fredricks does not take insurance. However, many PPOs and HMOs will cover all or a portion of the fee. If you would like to use your insurance,
please contact your insurance company and ask what coverage you have to see an "out-of-network provider."
Make sure you tell them that Dr. Fredricks has a Ph.D. as insurance companies usually reimburse at a higher rate for therapists with a Ph.D.
Your insurance company will tell you what your coverage is. When you come to the office, you will pay for your sessions as you go.
If you request it, you will receive a superbill once a month that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Dr. Fredricks decided not to work directly with insurance companies for several reasons:
- All health insurance companies require a mental disorder diagnosis. Many people that come to therapy want to learn new skills and
different strategies to try at home or work and
do not necessarily have a diagnosis.
- Many insurance companies put severe restrictions on what types of services they will cover. For example, most insurance companies
do not cover marriage or family counseling.
- With insurance companies, many of your choices and treatment options are limited. This takes away your ability
to be actively involved in determining what type of care you receive.
- Health insurance jeopardizes personal confidentiality. When a bill is submitted to an insurance company on your behalf, your
confidential information is processed by the insurance company and then stored in a national database. Anyone who is involved in the
processing or handling of your claim has access to your records and anyone who has a legitimate reason to access the medical database,
such as insurance companies and future employers, can view your confidential records. Theoretically, a potential employer or other
company could discriminate against you based on this information.
For all of these reasons, Dr. Fredricks has decided not to accept health insurance directly.
