Therapy Fees, Insurance & Forms

Private Pay

Lake Natoma Therapy is primarily a private pay practice. This means clients typically pay directly for services rather than having insurance billed by the practice.

Some clients choose private pay because it may offer more privacy, flexibility, and choice in how therapy is approached. It can also allow therapy to focus more directly on your needs, goals, and growth without being shaped by insurance requirements or session limits.

You are welcome to reach out with questions about fees or payment.

Insurance

Some insurance options may be available. If using insurance is important to you, please contact Lake Natoma Therapy to discuss current availability.

Lake Natoma Therapy accepts:

• Credit cards
• Debit cards
• HSA/FSA cards
• Secure electronic payment methods when appropriate

Payment information is typically collected before the first session and securely stored for future appointments.

Lake Natoma Therapy asks for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

• 24+ hours’ notice: No charge
• Less than 24 hours’ notice: Full session fee

This policy helps protect the time reserved for your care.

Client Forms

New clients will complete intake forms electronically before the first session. These may include:

• Client Information Form
• Informed Consent for Treatment
• Notice of Privacy Practices
• Telehealth Consent
• Credit Card Authorization Form

Forms are sent electronically after your first appointment is scheduled.

Good Faith Estimate

Under the federal No Surprises Act, clients who are uninsured or choosing not to use insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of services before receiving care.

For individual therapy at Lake Natoma Therapy:

• Individual therapy sessions are $150 per 50-minute session
• Payment is due at the time of service unless otherwise arranged
• Sessions may be weekly, biweekly, or scheduled at another agreed-upon frequency
• Total cost depends on your needs, goals, session frequency, and length of treatment

You may request a Good Faith Estimate at any time.

A Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not require you to receive services. It is intended to help you understand the expected cost of care.
