Fees
Initial Appointment
The initial appointment is $125. This is the time that Dr. Beebe will meet with parents, gather the necessary information, and together plan what will be the next steps in assessment.
Psycho-educational Assessment
The cost of a psycho-educational assessment will be $900 ($850 with check or cash). There is a nonrefundable $75 booking fee due when the appointment is made. This will be applied to the fee of the first appointment. If parents do not show for the first appointment, the $75 will serve as a missed appointment fee and an additional booking fee will be collected if another appointment is booked.
The Psych-educational assessment fee includes the testing session, written report and results conference with the parents. There are no additional fees if additional testing sessions are required. The appointment to discuss results with parents is included in the testing fee. However, if the parent does not show up for the results appointment, there will be a $125 to reschedule that appointment.
Adult ADHD Screening is $250. There will be a $75 booking fee which will apply to this fee. If the client does not show for the appointment, the $75 will serve as a missed appointment fee.
Making Payments
Payment is due at the time of service. Acceptable forms of payment include: check, cash, and/or credit card.
Note about insurance
Drs. Scott and Amy Beebe work hard to keep their fees affordable.
With the exception of the veterans' exams, their services are considered “private pay” services, meaning that the parents of the child or the adult patient/client is responsible for paying for services themselves. However, if a patient/client wishes to file a claim themselves (for “Out of Network” reimbursement), we will provide an invoice with the needed insurance codes.
Many established mental health professionals do not join or remain on insurance panels for several reasons. Filing insurance requires a significant breach of patient/client confidentiality. This includes a psychiatric diagnosis which will then become part of the patient’s/client’s permanent health record. Having such a diagnosis could result in higher premiums, exclusions of preexisting conditions, or denial of insurance.
Also, there is a great deal of paperwork required, which takes time and energy away from the patient/client and significantly drives up costs. Providers who join insurance panels have to pass these costs on to clients in the form of higher fees.
