INSURANCE - We are an independent group practice. We do participate in many insurance networks and we will bill
you insurance as a courtesy to you. However, we have witnessed a significant change in the health insurance
industry which is requiring that members pay larger copays and deductibles. Many plans are different and we do not
know what you plan requires. If you choose to use your health insurance to pay for therapy then you need to know
what you plan covers as you will be responsible for fees not covered by you insurance.

COURT-ORDERED THERAPY - We do not provide court-ordered therapy of any kind. We believe that therapy
which is mandated by the legal system is NOT therapy. In addition, we do not participate in legal cases as "expert"
witnesses. Our policy is that we require a minimum of 4 sessions prior to providing any documentation to
court, schools, attorneys or any other regulatory entity. We do not provide therapy for workman's
compensation cases.
